Nachdem ich das Album rauf und runter gehört habe, freue ich mich besonders, Kirtsy und Martin alias Kirsty McGee heute bei uns live auf dem Balkon begrüßen zu können. Mit einem neuen Album im Gepäck: "no.5 live", aufgenommen mit Musikern vom Hobopop Collective: "The Hobopop Collective are (at the core) Kirsty McGee and Mat Martin, whose full-bore sound is further complimented where necessary with contributions from a select chain-gang of revered and secretive illuminati. These genial gamblers and innovative imagineers create a smoky and folky jazz fug of quietly militant and socially conscious music that is as dark as it is enlightening, as gloomy as it is optimistic, and as angry as it is in love. They crank like a banged-out Mustang '57 pissing petrol the length of a winding Scottish B-road. Think Corinne Bailey-Rae arm-wrestling Sinead O'Connor for a dram of whiskey at a disturbed banjo buskathon for burglars, blind folk and beatniks, then drop a few of those variables and cram in some of the bluest blues, the greenest greens, and the wobbliest wobbles imaginable, and you're getting close to the ultimate truth, which is that simplicity in itself can be complicated, misery can breed the greatest euphoria and darkness can always be a beacon to navigate the storms by."
