Biography
Following both a global pandemic and an acclaimed, landmark debut album, Irish Alt-Folk act Junior Brother's "The Great Irish Famine" leaps boldly forward into an exciting new chapter, and into a shaken new world - staggeringly profound, brutally beautiful in its epic sweep. "I was very conscious to bring each element of the debut into this follow-up, but dramatically dig ten times deeper and stretch ten times further down into each avenue" explains Junior Brother, a.k.a. Ronan Kealy. The towering, bruised catharsis of lead single "No Snitch" soars amidst darkly comic self-reflection ("This Is My Body"), anxious reflexes on modern living ("No Country For Young Men"), and the painful role the past plays in a nation's present ("King Jessup's Nine Trials"). Both startlingly dynamic and profoundly accomplished, "The Great Irish Famine" reflects fall-out of trauma both personal and universal, national and international, minor and mountainous, historic and contemporary - all uncompromisingly conveyed through the magnetic, emotionally potent vision of a one-of-a-kind artist at the top of his game.
