Eugene McGuinness-The 21-year-old is Brilliant!

Domino are proud to announce the release of Eugene McGuinness’ self-titled debut full length album, on October 13th.

"One of the most unique."

After The Early Learnings Of - a mini album of 8 songs - was released to great critical acclaim last year on Domino’s Publishing Label Double Six, Eugene headed to the studio to make his first full album proper for Domino. The result is twelve utterly charming pop tracks, which skip between boundaries with gleeful abandon and an acidic sense of humour.

From the post-punk sturm and drang of Fonz to the skiffle-beat pop confections of Rings Around Rosa to the disarmingly beautiful 30’s-style balladeering of Those Black And White Movies, the album veers from unabashed, starry-eyed romance to pre-coital forked-tongue come-ons via a sound that’s simultaneously cinematic and yet endearingly ramshackle.

Eugene McGuinness’ album contains knowing winks and phrases drawn from personal experience, but mostly made up scenarios full of joyous verve and unpredictability. It is a collection of songs gloriously out of time yet thoroughly modern, with one foot in reality and the other somewhere else entirely, where every silver lining has a cloud and one unexpected turn of phrase can lead you down a new musical rabbit hole.

"Gloriously out of time yet thoroughly moderninfectious jangly indie pop guitarstwistedridiculously charming lyrics and Eugene's dizzyingly creamysoaring vocals add up for another triumphant effort from one of the most unique and fascinating songwriters of the current crop of young neo Brit-pop stars."
