Dust Of Rumour

Last Broadcast

Being named checked by Bob Dylan is a long way from working the shop floor of British Home Stores, but this is the journey that Ireland-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Marc Carroll has undertaken over the past few years. 'Dust Of Rumour' follows two critically acclaimed albums. The album itself is a magpie collection that defies easy categorisation, for Carroll is an artist who isn’t afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve - and on this evidence he has a varied palette. The opener, 'Love Will Rule Our Hearts', sounds like a more muscular Thrills. 'Now Or Never' and 'You Just Might Be What I’ve Been Waiting For' possess the jangly guitar figures, sugar rush melody and sunny vocal harmonies of vintage Teenage Fanclub. With 'Dust Of Rumour', Carroll has produced a highly competent album.

Dust Of Rumour

The Crack

This Dubliner is now based in Los Angeles and there’s definitely a transatlantic feel to this, his fourth album, which is a wide-screen, melodious delight. This is basically timeless songwriting with the sunshine streaming through these tunes just like the first morning of your holiday. Those Irish roots are still allowed to break through too, calling to mind those other Celtic lovers of that West coast sound, Teenage Fanclub.

Music Fix

A seriously talented man, so little wonder then that he’s never cracked the big time in an industry built upon image and hype. Dust of Rumour is his fourth album in 10 years and it doesn’t disappoint.
