£25.99 – 1xLP, Limited Select Indies Exclusive Gold Vinyl in Die-Cut Gold Foil Sleeve (plus DL Code) – Irish Import
Igniting the Belfast scene like George Best at a baby shower, Kneecap sweep everyone up in their turbo-charged hip-hop pyrotechnics – sticking this on is like cracking in to a 24 hour session in the rowdy pub of your dreams.
The trio’s first full-length album is guaranteed to get shut down by the boys in blue on its opening night. Frenetic, grimy, and downright rude, ‘Fine Art’ feels like a bleary recollection of last night, which was fuelled by copious beverages and powdery substances. Knocking over pint glasses and pissing off the bar-propping locals, these ecstasy-charged tracks careen along in a blur of machine-gun raps, dance-floor-pummelling beats, wryly observed sound bites, and occasional Irish instruments just to remind you where you are!
It’s a comical, energising hoot of an album, and a fitting portrait of the wildness that emanates from the band outside the studio. From getting kicked out of their own gigs to starring in a fictionalised biopic film about themselves (and then exclusively speaking in Irish at a Q&A session following the film’s screening hosted by us & Komedia), Kneecap answer only to themselves, and that’s why their music is so tantalising.
