Album reviews: David Gray returns with Skellig, while Slowthai's Tyron disappoints

David Gray has produced a fine soundtrack to lockdown, but SlowThai struggles somewhat with difficult second album syndrome 

David Gray's new album, Skellig, has several Irish references. 

David Gray - Skellig (****)

Like many of us, David Gray had drawn up ambitious plans for 2020. He was set to (albeit belatedly) mark the 20th anniversary of his break-out album, White Ladder, with a tour across Ireland and the UK that was to include a visit to Musgrave Park in Cork. But then events conspired to get in the way and his busy year was plunged into purgatory.
