Only on a first tour of Hello Moon’s debut album ‘Only Count the Sunny Hours’ but already ‘Measure of Me’ sticks out like a beacon of brilliance. The LP sounds utterly under produced (and given its disparate recording locations it’s a wonder there’s so much organisation to the glorious ramshackle) but if it was any other way we’d be scratching our heads ’till we exposed delicate membranes. And pain is the last thing you want to be experiencing while the jingle jangle of Dublin’s finest exponents of lo-fi indie pop resides on your stereo. ‘Only Count the Sunny Hours’ is being put out on Any Other City Records (who do a neat line in new local amusements) and will be launched in the cosy surrounds of Crawdaddy on September 10th (in sunny hours that’d be in about 3 hours time).

Irish indie-pop reprazent! I’ve heard the whole thing, and it’s going to be one of the best albums of 2011, IMO.
