Our Little Secrets, the Dublin-based band whose debut album is currently coming up for air, are the collective efforts of chief composer Rhob Cunningham and a merry band of like-minded cohorts. 'A Good or Bad Thing', taken from Our Little Secrets' debut album, will be released on March 5th. The track, which features guest vocals from Lisa Hannigan, is the first single from the album which is set to be released on April 30th.
Sporting the considerable talents of the likes of Hannigan, Cathy Davey and Jenny Lindfors, Rhob Cunningham's musical project has piqued the interest of just about anyone who's heard it. Rhob has spent the last few years playing songs and breaking E strings in every venue imaginable in Ireland. This incessant touring has led to supporting roles including Lisa Hannigan, Bell X1, Cathy Davey, Mundy, Mick Flannery and the late John Martyn, as well as backing vocal duties on Hannigan's debut album 'Sea Sew'.
Rhob, along with a selection of truly musical humans, ensconced themselves in to various studios, basements, attics and kitchens in Wicklow and Kildare, not leaving until the basis for a full length album was in the bag. So now, some moons later, it's all ready to go and time to set it loose on some fresh pairs of ears. Produced by the venerable Gavin Glass and mixed by Keith Farrell (The Duckworth Lewis Method), and mastered in the late Liam Clancy's studio in Dungarvan, the album features the strumming, hitting and plucking of Cormac Curran (Villagers/Cathy Davey), Ross Turner (Jape/I Am The Cosmos), Shane Holly (Jennifer Evans and The Ripe Intent) and other assorted family and friends.
A national tour in support of the album will come early in the summer.
