Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club
The New studio album from ‘Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club’ entitled: ‘The Beautiful Untrue’ was released in Ireland on April the 24th, it is also available to download on itunes and several other download sites all over the planet earth. Produced by Jerry Fish, Recorded by Dick Meaney (The Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine) and Mixed by Phil Hayes ( The Cake Sale, Bell X1) ‘The Beautiful Untrue’ is released on Jerry’s record label The Mudbug Club and distributed in Ireland by RMG Chart Entertainment. The album features some extraordinary guest vocal performances from two of Irelands up and coming singers Imelda May and Carol Keogh. … and of course The Wonderful and Ever Expanding Mudbug Club Troupe. Buzz Wilde, Spicy Mudbug, Dr.Nebulus, Q, Conor (Jesus) Brady, Grum, Mark Healy, Stefano Muscovi, Princess Mischa, Pat (Mr.T) Corless, Serge Stavila, Josie Doherty, Justin Carroll, Joe Ryan, Jack McMahon, The Mighty Stef and Oleg Ponomarev. The first Single to be taken from ‘The Beautiful Untrue’ entitled ‘Back to Before’... ‘Back to Before’ is one of two duets on the album featuring singer Carol Keogh. The song has a Parisien Circus feel and sounds like it came from the soundtrack of ‘Amelie’ or ‘City of The Lost Children’.
'The Beautiful Untrue' has been welcomed by Rave Reviews... ‘The Hole In The Boat’ is a swampy seafood-fed shuffle with Ribot-like guitar and zombie cardship vocal from Mr. Fish. Jim Jarmusch would pawn his brothel creepers for the rights. Even more exotic is the single ‘Back To Before’, a delicate waltz around the ballroom of lost romance that’s stitched with singing saws, pedal steel and tinkertoy piano, while Fish’s latest dancing partner Carol Keogh contributes a truly remarkable turn somewhere between Patsy Cline and Mary Margaret O’Hara. One expects Lewis Carroll to pop his head through the curtains inquiring after a certain miss Liddell. Another duet, ‘Hell Or Heaven Sent’ featuring Imelda May, takes the form of a sweltering motel chronicle halfway between Howie Gelb and Barry Gifford, while ‘Rogue Melody’ is a slow C&W sway with Mariachi brass and a welcome reprise from Ms Keogh. Elsewhere on tunes like ‘It Takes Balls To Be A Butterfly’ (nice title), Mr. Fish swaggers in a Willy Deville way that suggests he really needs a Hollywood agent. ‘Where The Sun Don’t Shine’ and instrumental closing tune deserve to accompany the end credits of some arthouse masterpiece. The Beautiful Untrue is one of those records that raises the cool in the room without breaking a sweat. **** Peter Murphy / Hot Press... ... ...
Jerry Fish lists his influences as "Beat poetry, dog, bone and sailor stories, Tom Waits, Dean Martin, Dr John, Jacques Brel, Ray Charles, One Mint Julep, Mingus, Ellington", and his sound as "indie lounge lizard schmooze, mariachi swampadelica". He ticks all those eclectic boxes. What he doesn’t say is that The Beautiful Untrue builds imaginatively on his debut, and that his Mudbug world of comic-cut theatre feels more attractive with each track. From the gorgeous artwork to the measured playing of Conor Brady and the singing of Whelan and guests Imelda May and Carol Keogh, this is guaranteed to put a smile on troubled faces. Indeed, The Hole in the Boat makes some kind of beautiful out of bleak. **** Joe Breen / The Irish Times - The Ticket... ... ...
