The Lost Brothers
Halfway Towards A Healing *****
The Losties have made a spectacular and deepening advances with each release and this, their fifth outing is a landmark work. The input of producer Howe Gelb helps but the ravishing harmonies and skillful certainty of The Lost Brothers – Oisin Leech and Mark McCausland – guide songs of dark hope and painstaking regeneration. Kingpins of excellent noughties bands The 747s and The Basement, the Irishmen show the stunning reward that open-minded dedication can recap. Tears of joy and sorrow flow – simply sublime.
