You can NOW download Doug Sheridans - Songs from Just Outside the House (Deluxe Edition) to your iPod from iTunes
In mid 2008 Doug Sheridan releases his first album 'Songs From Just Outside The House' in Ireland. Recorded & mixed over 15 days at Sonic Eye Studios, Dublin. Engineered and produced by Robert Mac Leod.
"The album is loosely based on a few people in a small town. It's the world through their eyes. Most of them are broken people I suppose. It's what they might say if they were asked how they really feel about things that have happened in their lives."
The album came about when Doug's brother introduced him to Irish producer Rob Mac Leod. "I'd heard some stuff Rob had recorded and we talked about the kind of sound and album I was going for. It was an intense 15 days, but it turned out really well. I'm very proud of it of the finished record.
It wasn't about getting everything in tune or in time, just about getting a feeling across & I think we got that"
REVIEWS
SOUND + VISION "Graffiti"
'this album features ten beautifully written songs, all pegged by Sheridan himself. Rich with raw emotion and poignant lyrics from start to finish, it takes you on a musical journey through hope, heartbreak and despair. Accompanied by a set of beautiful melodies, the depth of these emotions is well evident throughout the album......This album is hopefully only the first of many offerings from this amazingly talented artist – GA

HOTPRESS
Rising new Irish talent Doug Sheridan has a set of pipes that could please the angels. His voice is raw, haunting yet utterly impressive. Songs From Just Outside The House is a collection of tunes written from the point of view of different people living in a small town (something we can all relate to) and it’s a low-fi tour de force. There are shades of Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley throughout and at times it can get a little gloomy but it doesn’t take away from the fact that as debuts go this one is world class - 4/5 Stars ****
