"Waterford's Declan de Barra has a voice of oak, amber, suffering and steel, the baroque quality of a Nick Cave and a range akin to Jeff Buckley. Big words but just listen to 'Throw Your arms Around Me' or 'Blackbird Song' and you will feel like de Barra has just plugged himself directly into your psyche's shadow. Cello, fiddle, piano and guitar adorn this hideously beautiful debut. "- Sunday Tribune 26 March 2006
