Float

A mature, atmospheric pivot toward Irish folk roots. Less of a mosh pit, more of a storm-weathered pub session with heavy hearts and sharp tongues.

March 4, 2008 · SideOneDummy Records

Find on Amazon

A resilient, storm-weathered defiance that finds beauty in political and personal struggle.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's slow-burning build that trades punk speed for a massive, swaying orchestral crescendo.
The frantic, percussive banjo opening of Requiem for a Dying Song that feels like a call to arms.
The mournful, isolated whistle melody that introduces (No More) Paddy's Lament before the full band crashes in.
