THE 4 OF US | Sugar Island

Reviews

FATEA MAGAZINE UK | ALBUM REVIEW - Reassuringly optimistic and beautifully played, The 4 Of Us "Sugar Island".
-----
HOT PRESS | ALBUM REVIEW - Intricate arrangements, skilful lyric writing, and as we have come to expect from The 4 Of Us, the songs are imbued with considerable melodic flair. Excellent.
-----
SUNDAY TIMES | ALBUM REVIEW - Sugar Island is one of several landmarks referenced by the brothers in songs such as Going South and Hometown on the Border, the latter's mention of 'soldiers tapping their heels' being especially evocative.
-----
GIGGING NI | LIVE REVIEW - Theirs is a symbiotic relationship – and MAN can they read a room!
-----
THE HERALD | ALBUM REVIEW - Melodic songs with a tender core and barbwire emotive edge.
-----
MAIL ON SUNDAY | ALBUM REVIEW - Brothers Declan and Brendan Murphy reflect on their childhoods ... Given that they were raised in Newry, the spectre of the northern conflict is omnipresent
-----
GIGGING NI | LIVE REVIEW - 'A finely tuned and flawless show from two accomplished performers who are perfectly in tune with each other' - GiggingNI | LYRIC THEATRE, Belfast
-----
IRISH TIMES - Sugar Island ALBUM REVIEW 4/5 - Border boys in troubled times | ‘Rational, perceptive pop/folk of the highest order’

ACOUSTIC MAGAZINE | ALBUM REVIEW – The child’s perspective lends a candour crackling with innocence. There’s no polemic at work here, just a clutch of great songs telling it like it was, performed with an honesty that makes this rather special.
