RELEASE DATE

A Country Life
is the fourth album by
Ginnels
and their second release on Tenorio Cotobade, after 2013's
Plumes
(TEN 101LP). Originally started as a Dublin-based solo project by
Mark Chester
from
Grand Pocket Orchestra
and
No Monster Club
between 2011 and 2012, Ginnels released the albums
Ginnels
,
Mountbatten Class
and
Crowns
. Fourteen tracks from those three records and other online exclusives were compiled on
Plumes
, the band's first release on vinyl. Drawing comparisons to
The Feelies
,
Guided By Voices
, the
Elephant 6
collective and the great pop legacies of labels such as Flying Nun and Sarah,
Plumes
was lauded as one of the best releases of 2013 by Not Unloved, Pop Lib, Unpopular and other international pop sites. Along with Chester, these days Ginnels comprises
Paddy Hanna
and
Bobby Aherne
from Grand Pocket Orchestra and No Monster Club, with
Squarehead
's
Roy Duffy
and
Ruan Van Vliet
.
A Country Life
is a bit of a departure in so much as it's the first Ginnels release to involve "proper drums" and also the first non-compilation LP release by the band. Meant from the beginning to be a focused, pure-pop 37-minute LP, a direct response to the supposed "death of the album" and an attempt to try and make something shiny and unashamedly not lo-fi,
A Country Life
takes its cues from classic songwriting and a desire to air grievances in public. That said, with absolutely no budget, the drums being recorded in a cupboard and everything else recorded in a 6' x 6' box room, some things haven't changed.
