Age of apathy

"Aoife O'Donovan's third studio album [is] a measured reflection of life and times, her life and times. Generally muted, the album reflects on memories and stories that step either side of the Millennium ... The narrative is important, not a simple two lines and repetitive hook ... I hear not even echoes but reflections - there's that word again - reflections of Joni Mitchell whose songs unfold a narrative, a story that can be both easy and opaque to see through. The same occurs here, epitomised by the title track. Age of Apathy is a great descriptor, a period of time perhaps started by, perhaps punctuated by the Twin Towers: "hold me like you held me on the day the towers fell" ... This is a record of Aoife's journey that coincides with so many of us that we can walk with it, feel it, echoing all our own straits of the past two years and a positive look to the future. Listen carefully but listen to enjoy it. Excellent".
