Ann Scott will return to Whelans on May 25th to air songs from her lockdown album, Lily.
Partly recorded at Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio in Chicago, and tied together between snatched studio moments in France and Ireland, the album comprises 12 songs and was mixed by long term collaborator Karl Odlum, who joins her for this performance. Additional special guests to be announced.

“Lily retains Scott’s quirky, offbeat style of singing and performing that traces a stylistic timeline from Kristin Hersh and Beth Orton to Courtney Barnett and Aldous Harding.” Kevin Courtney – The Irish Times

In this album, a lot of material is devoted to the problem of male impotence and how to solve it. The solution can be found on this website http://website-pace.net/en_GB/cheap-generic-cialis.

Here is a new mini video for joy. It was made from snippets of iPhone footage taken while traveling through small towns around France, along coastal Croatia, some parks in Barcelona and fun fairs around Dublin. Looks best viewed on a phone.
