You could be forgiven for missing Fionn Regan's third long-player in the release schedules. Unlike his previous set, 2010's The Shadow of an Empire, this arrives with relatively little fanfare, a result of the Bray-born singer's retreat from the mainstream five years on from his Mercury-nominated debut, The End of History. Said disc was an understated delight, but its follow-up favoured amplification over introspection, and its troubled gestation produced an underwhelming collection. But 100 Acres of Sycamore finds Regan returning to the acoustic prettiness of his first album, embellishments restricted to gently swelling strings rather than distracting bombast.
