On his latest release, the logically titled 2, Irish-born Ciaran MacFeely (aka Simple Kid) has moved on from the cut and paste styling of his groundbreaking debut 1 to a more organic approach to the writing and production.

While it still retains many of the memorable features that jolted critics and fans on his first outing, 2 moves Simple Kid's sound in a more earthy direction, with linear sonance and focused production: less laptop, more guitar, harmonica and banjo. However, he still knows how to throw a party with tracks like "Lil' King Kong" and the stream of consciousness lyrics of "Serotonin" (described by NME as Radiohead meets DJ Shadow).

See what others have to say:

• "Later we headed to the legendary Stubbs BBQ and I checked out who was on inside the bar. A young guy called Simple Kid was playing and had a great vibe. In one song he used an instrumental of Black Sabbath's Paranoid and had live footage of them playing it with Ozzy only singing now and again while he sang over it. It was wicked." - Paolo Nutini, Music Week
• "This (is) a GREAT release!" - Richard Ashcroft's "Pick of the Year" (Uncut Magazine)

2 raises the bar and brings MacFeely into the league of the best songwriters of his generation.
