Big Sad Guy is a great Albuquerque band. "Waiting for the Undular Bores" is a double CD project I recorded with them over the course of the year of 2011. I love this record and am doing all I can to get the music out there.

.Critically acclaimed songwriter Barry McCormack launches his seventh album, Mean Time, an ambitious collection of dark, but wryly funny songs about people living through interesting times and extraordinary events. Lauded as a chronicler of his home town over the six albums he has released on his own label, Hag’s Head, for his latest he has directed his storyteller’s gaze beyond the streets of Dublin to tell stories of diverse folk in different worlds experiencing the messiness and mayhem of modern life.

Neat rhyming couplets and louche-limbed melodies peeping out from under a look that’s gazing decidedly askance at the world. Folk-fuelled arrangements, including banjo and bouzouki... but the wistful guitar lines whisper of a kinship with the more left-field musings of Joanna Newsom- Irish Times  'The title tune is a slow sway with transcendental middle-eight, 'Cotton On Girl' a self- administered slap across the chops stitched with banjo,handclaps and communal choruses.Both feel like they were written 200 years ago,and may well be written again 200 years from now.Jago also seems to have an instinct for just the right modulation required to lift a song out of merit into distinction.She does waltzes,she does shuffles,she does winsome and wistful and exasperated and lovelorn,often within the same verse..Alice Jago is a girl you don't hear everyday.-Hotpress.
