Valentine Black’s ‘Desire Lines’ was released on Valentine's Day 2012. Named after the natural paths made by people walking through forests or fields. There are echoes of Springsteen, Dylan and Bowie but through a definite Irish lens. Folk and pop tinged indie-rock songs at times combined with lush arrangements cover themes of love, loss, modern Ireland and even murder throughout this confident debut. With thoughtful lyrics and a warm vinyl sound, it’s a wonderful introduction to the straight talking yet romantic world of Mr Valentine Black. Valentine Black has been described as: ... 'a wizard and a true star' (Hot Press) and ... 'amazing with superb vocals and lyrics' (2uibestow) ...
