Joe Chester released his début album, A Murder Of Crows, on the BARP label
on 25th February 2005 (Ireland) . The album was written over 2 years in
between various periods of production work and band membership and recorded
and mixed by Joe in Wexford and Dublin. Seamlessly combining acoustic and
electric instrumentation in a beautifully simple and affecting format, Joe
(with a little help from a handful of musician friends) captures the
listener from the opening bars of the lilting title-track right through to
the final moments of the strings and piano finale of “Anyway”. The ten
tracks have a feel and a warmth that is all their own. In 2006, Joe was
nominated for Best Irish Male in the Meteor Irish Music Awards, and A Murder
of Crows was shortlisted for the Choice Music Prize.
Today FM: "My tip for the top, as it were, remains as it has been, Joe Chester. His album is without doubt a joy to behold. It's perfect pop."
