Brilliantly described somewhere as the longest overnight success story in Ireland, Adrian Crowley's tale is ten years in the making. Dublin based, by way of Galway (and France for a time), Crowley self-released his debut A Strange Kind on a shoe-string in 1999 before embarking on a very different experience two years later by recording When You Are Here You Are Family with Mr. Steve Albini. It's successor A Northern Country was cursed by label problems but three years on again the Choice Music Prize nominated Long Distance Swimmer spent twelve months charming all in its path. The equally superb Season Of The Sparks swiftly followed mid 2009.
