Bearos062 Richard Burke - The Wintered sea (CD mini-album)
Listen to Richard at http://www.myspace.com/richardburke

Richard Burke's debut, Roscrea, released in 2005 was a real suprise to those who only knew him through his work with top emo band, The Starries.
His solo style retains the complex song structures and Irish brogue of earlier work, softening them with gallic folk and the pop influences of Morrisey & Marr and Bell & Sebastian.
Tunes like The Women of Birmingham and Prettier Smile conjour up nights of unrequited love and stoical introspection mixed with the fleeting joy of all too temporary love. As i commented on his debut, "I'll admit it's not cheery stuff but you'll have to go a long way to find a voice and a talent as authentic as this."

Mail order price is now only £6 (included P&P in the UK)
