Paddy Hanna – The Hill (12" Vinyl)

Paddy Hanna returns in 2020 with The Hill, a lushly arranged third album on Strange Brew Records that finds the Dublin songwriter trading in his trademark crooner-pop for something darker and more theatrical. Across eleven tracks like "Cannibals," "Sinatra," and the haunting title cut, Hanna's rich baritone and witty, literate songwriting make this an essential pick for fans of Scott Walker, Father John Misty, or anyone who loves grand, idiosyncratic pop with a touch of melancholy. A standout in the modern Irish songwriter scene and well worth a spot in your collection.
