Sept 23rd sees the eagerly awaited release of ELDER ROCHE’s new album NOBODY KNOWS. Back in June I was able to bring you a review of this superlative new album following a sneaky pre-listen READ REVIEW. The announcement of this release date is great news for true music lovers – NOBODY KNOWS is simply a pleasure to listen to with its perfectly ecclectic blend of influences. Making no bones about it, Elder’s sound is his own, bringing together very subtle but unmistakable hints of Nick Cave, an early David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Neil Young and Bob Dylan but to name a few. Following the highly popular single Diamond which lead to sold out shows in Dublin and with Radio stations nationwide (BEAT FM, WLRFM , KFM , KCLRFM , CLARE FM, WIRED FM, RTE, FEILE FM, MIDLANDS RADIO + more) adding ELDER to their programme play lists it’s no wonder people have the following things to say:
Previous quotes:
HOTPRESS- “Ireland has a new singer songwriter to be reckoned with!”,
MIXTAPE – “Elder Roche has shown massive potential with his debut album ‘Nobody Knows’. You can’t but hear Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen influences, but this is a fine true folk troubadour”.
The News of The World “Manly vocals and powerful storytelling songs bring to mind the genius of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond.”
RTE 2FM “There is something spiritual about ELDER’s songs”
