On July 5th, 2024 Bohemia Records release, No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens, the long-awaited new album from a lazarus soul, the follow-up to 2019s much-loved The D They Put Between the R & L. After a long gestation period, the band (Brian Brannigan, Anton Hegarty, Julie Bienvenu & Joe Chester), half ofwhom live in Ireland, half in France, convened in Miracle Studios, Rennes, for four days of intensive recording, live, together in a single room, their first opportunity to do so since global events had kept them apart for two years. The session, a fury of largely improvised and incendiary versions of ten brand new Brannigan-penned songs, forms the basis of this new record which also features guest contributions from legendary violinist, Steve Wickham. The album was recorded and mixed in France by Joe Chester.
