What do you get when you combine two of Ireland’s most impressive acts, why Divan of course which is two parts Ambience Affair (Jamie Clarke and Marc Gallagher) and one (and only) part Biggles Flys Again (Conor Deasy). Seems the strength of numbers has resulted in Divan veering closer to the intricate, emotive and intense Ambience Affair sound of yore, rather than the more straight-forward melodic nature of Biggles. That said Deasy has had some success in knocking some of the edges off, so much so that the standout track from the band’s debut LP ‘Modern Knowledge’ has a poppiness to go with all the detail in the impressive vocal/instrumental dynamics. And it’s a union that will undoubtedly lead to greater enchantment down the line. KD
