The Sleeping Years

For a period in the early to mid-90's Keith Cullen's Setanta Records label was home to several ex-pat Irish bands disillusioned with things as they were at home. Ironically, most of these very same bands soon became disillusioned with how things were in London and ultimately made the move back home again. Catchers were one of these. Upon its release in 1994, their debut album 'Mute' garnered much (merited) critical acclaim, but its follow-up, 'Stooping To Fit', sank without a trace (except in France. Bands like Catchers are destined to always prosper in France).
Last year saw the emergence of The Sleeping Years, Dale Grundle's latest foray into the world of understated folk-pop. If you liked Catchers, you'll like this.
