The view from the bottom of a glass can be a glorious place to find yourself. The colourful glow of tarnished senses can lead to all manner of creative abundance. Welcome, then to the plentiful sadness of The Wyoâs. Your new favourite sense of contemplation all packaged in Dublin via Limerick.

Daragh Dukes and Rory Host have known each other from the earliest of ages and the body of work contained here is a reflection of years of maturing and writing with occasional drinking and fighting chucked in.
It began as electronics and button pushing and has inflated to lap steels, violins and real proper drums. The kind real bands play. And now itâs a real band. A real momentâ¦

âWe had to bring out the confined producer in the songs. Give him a guitar and point him towards the light. Getting the point across through the songs, not the trickery of the studio.â Rory muses, as it is he that had played the role of âgeekâ.

âThrow Your Arms Up To Heavenâ is a starting point for a band that have observed the fragility of Sparklehorse, the threats of Bright Eyes and the beauty of Calexico. Indeed the opening track âA Letter From St Judeâ will have you weeping into your Laphroig and by the end of the album the bottle will be empty.
