"Debut EP from this mysterious Yorkshireman. Released through the fledgling Hard Graft label on Christmas eve 2006, this sets the bar very high for anything to follow. Strong lyrics, softly sung on four gorgeous, slow-burning songs thankfully shed a little light on an artist who would seemingly prefer to remain anonymous. 'Not Comfortable' performing live for the moment - it would be a real shame if this release passed unnoticed due to a lack of (self?) promotion. A sublime string arrangement on 'with this bullet' from Paris Motel's Amy May completes a very special package indeed. For fans of Elliott Smith, Cass McCombs and Richard James' (from Gorky's) solo work." ROUGH TRADE

My name is Patrick Shannon Whelan & I was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire. A couple of years ago (at the Queen's request I ought bequeath) I moved to London in a big white van. Rowlerpig came too & helped with the lifting, the smoking, the changing of cassette tapes & the perusing of lasses. Twas during one particularly engaging perusal that we crashed into a lamp post near Camden tube. Welcome to London - that'll be £600, a police caution & a bollocking off yer Dad...
