Album review: Talos – Wild Alee

4/5

Eoin French is the bright young thing of alternative Irish pop and, on his long-awaited first album, more than lives up to the hyperbole.

A qualified architect, the Corkman puts his songs together with impressive perspective and nuance. Beats flutter in the background yet never overshadow his falsetto; choruses, if often easy on the ear, are careful not to outstay their welcome.
