Last Night, as I was Wandering—out now

'a purgatorial stripmall facade of Nightown, populated by ghosts who walk: Kelly, Kavanagh, Behan, Dylan, MacGowan, the brothers Palace and Louvin and James Clarence Mangan...here's a body of song which understands that any port town is also a portal town, a hell door that admits all manner of strange sailors, strumpets and shape shifters.' Hot Press

'Timeless ballads from the dark side...the lyrics reveal a finely honed literary sensibility' Evening Herald

'As Tom Waits can pull off the adoption of a range of whiskey-soaked characters of all ages, so can McCormack.' Capital Magazine
