Details:
Robert Holmes is a songwriter from Belfast in Northern Ireland. He wrote his first songs a few days after his 30th birthday and has been wildly prolific ever since.
The Hazard Hill EP is his lament to the Ballysillan hills of Belfast, from the notorious Murder Triangle to the lush green peaks of the Cave Hill. It is a complex record with dark, gnarled roots at its base and shimmering highs at its peak.
Comparisons to the bleak Americana of 16 Horsepower, the Handsome Family and Woven Hand are justified but can''t fully describe how this is a record that very much belongs to the places that inspired it. This is Belfast folk-noir. Deep and engaging. This is not entertainment.
"From the off, his dark narratives and brooding observations bore all the hallmarks of someone with an original, intriuging voice..."
Colin Carberry, Hot Press Magazine, Ireland
"Looks like we just found ourselves the new Nick Cave...""
Joe Lindsay, BBC Radio Ulster, Northern Ireland
"''Amazing Grace'' needs to be on some B&W arthouse film... or mebbe the soundtrack to some gritty Britflick made by Shane Meadows or sumpin''. It''s a 3minute panoramic doom-pop track that''ll knock you fer six! ''Hazard Hill'' is another creeped out noirish track that is swamped in reverbs and effects with a great clunking beat, all sat ''neath the twang and righteous ire of Holmes. Man! This guy is good... real good... go check him out right now! I think he''s even got an LP coming out! There''s evil in his bones..." https://www.tradebit.com
