Does anybody listen to Damien Rice anymore? I admit that I have a personal soft spot for the warbling Irish singer-songwriter, because when I was in sixth grade I listened to his debut album O on repeat while my friends listened to normal tween-age music like blink-182. By the time his next album, 9 came out, I had totally lost interest (and moved on to other obsessions, like Interpol).
But I guess Rice is still around and still doing stuff, and he, unlike another Irish act that partnered with a big company to surreptitiously put their album into everybody’s music library, hasn’t pissed anyone off lately. He’s got a new album coming out November 11, called My Favourite Faded Fantasy (produced by Rick Rubin, if that still means anything to you), and he’ll tour the US throughout October. Fans of that movie Closer and 11-year-old me can barely contain our excitement!
