The Rye — Kevin Melly (vocals, acoustic guitar), Anna Falkenau (fiddle, backing vocals) Alan Walsh (banjo, electric guitar, backing vocals), Barry Wallace (bass, banjo) and Desmond Harrington (drums) — have been spending much of this summer in the studio recording their debut album. It promises to be one of the buzziest albums to be released in 2010. Each song on the album has a very distinct identity, ranging from the highly charged ‘There’s A Moth at Your Window’, over the jazzy-snappy ‘Lovebirds’, the quirky ‘Wondering the Why’, to the touching ‘Dance With You’.
