The Once - Row Upon Row Of The People They Know

With Row Upon Row Of The People They Know, The Once have produced a breathtaking follow up to their self-titled debut release. The title of the new album comes from a poem by George Murray, a poem that so inspired the group they built a song around it. Song For Memory speaks of the power of words and music to freeze time and emotions, to make small moments large, and large moments intimate. The production has been kept simple, relying instead on the power of their voices and acoustic instruments. Lead singer Geraldine Hollett is a singer with a voice so compelling she can still a noisy room. Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale provide the perfect accompaniment of voice and melody along with guitar, mandolin, fiddle and bouzouki. Sometimes melancholy, sometimes funny, but always poignant.
