Sometimes a great thing can be in your own back yard and you don't even know it. Such is the case with The Irrationals, a mixed sextet of really tight voices deep, sultry and rich. One minute the dynamics are pumping with a percussive and poignant arrangement of Stevie Wonder's 'Pastime Paradise' only to surprise you with the ability to successfully cover David Byrne's 'Slippery People' AND do it well. Gotta love 'Codeine', a bluesy rendition of a Buffy Sainte-Marie classic, which goes perfectly with the Bill Wither's anthem 'Ain't No Sunshine'. This debut is worth checking out for just the 'Sweet Inspiration' alone, though I can't imagine not enjoying the 'Language of Love'. Just trust us!
