The debut studio album by the Irish musician Damien Rice, originally released in February 2002. The album is dedicated to Rice’s friend Mic Christopher, who died of a head injury in 2001. Damien Rice was previously a member of the band Juniper, and upon the disbandment due to changes in creative direction, he took a sabbatical in rural Italy before returning to Ireland. He would meet with his second cousin, composer David Arnold who was impressed upon hearing Rice’s songs and sent Rice’s demo to music publishers to no success. Frustrated, Arnold worked with Rice to set up recording equipment for a home studio to make the album independently. Features the singles ‘The Blower’s Daughers‘, ‘Cannonball‘ and ‘Volcano‘.
