    Idiot Songs is primarily a digital release but we have a limited number of CDs if you really must have a physical format.

    With the limited edition CD comes liner notes and a print of Paraic McGloughlin's etching (the cover art).

    These are limited so don't be too disappointed if we run out. There's plenty of physical products available on www.justingrounds.com and on pearsemcgloughlin.bandcamp.com

CRITICAL RECEPTION


‘I’m utterly overwhelmed by the quality of work here and more than anything, long to abandon my place in front of this laptop and, with these songs drifting outwards, want to pull The Idiot from my bookshelf and disappear for a week. It’s a beautiful homage to the empathy and creativity of Dostoyevsky and without a doubt one of the best concept albums I’ve heard in my time’………. Harmless Noise


‘a series of sonic gems (gifted with beats and beautifully spectral spoken-word inserts) that breathe life and art into electronic music’…..Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish Times 4****


‘the pair…create what the best albums manage to do, an atmosphere exclusive to itself with its own identity’….. Album of the Week, Nialler9



‘impresses on just about every level’ ….Album of the Week, Dan Hegarty, The Alternative, 2FM

'Not your typical single so, but the best single I’ve heard this year!'.... Noise

Video for Villages of Ether directed by Kevin McGloughlin…Vimeo Staff Pick
