'Put Your Hands Where I Can See Them' is the debut LP from Irish singer-songwriter Niall McDowell. A capsule of stories; inspired by the eclecticism of Arthur Russell and the performance art of Laurie Anderson, they sought to find a realm for their off-kilter country music to exist in, using analogue technology and working with producer Chris W. Ryan (TTSSFU, Robocobra Quartet, NewDad, Just Mustard). The result is a thoughtful meditation on the chaos of grief, the tribulations of the queer experience.[info sheet from distr.]
