IRISH TIMES REVIEW (13.02.2009)
KIERAN GOSS
I'll Be Seeing You
Cog Communications ****
Eight albums on and Kieran Goss is in reflective mood. I'll Be Seeing You is a spare, ruminative collection shot through with the emotional turmoil that's beset his personal life. Death and illness have coloured his experiences in recent years, but Goss has allowed them to filter richly into his songwriting without ever resorting to maudlin self-pity. The album is bookended by two pristine snapshots of life's magical ordinariness (One Boy's Treasure and the gently anthemic Make The Morning Shine), and there's much evidence that Goss is digging deeper in his songwriting than ever before. At times the bareboned production sounds under-developed, but with such vignettes as Into Your Arms sounding like the illicit offspring of Townes Van Zandt and George Jones, Goss is clearly on a road to somewhere very interesting.
