Co Westmeath’s The Academic have taken some time to release their debut album; such wise caution has paid dividends. As far back as late 2013, at a particularly memorable gig during Other Voices in Dingle, the then teenage band were fawned upon by more than a dozen record labels eager to sign them up. Collective counsel was firmly held, individual egos kept in check. They remain an independent unit.
Self-sufficiency notwithstanding, the band (vocalist/guitarist Craig Fitzgerald, guitarist Matthew Murtagh, sibling bassist Stephen Murtagh, drummer Dean Gavin, all in their early 20s) have been a notable fixture on the Irish music scene for several years. Culled from a middle-Ireland hinterland not very well known for producing anything other than overly praised yet fondly remembered showband figures (Joe Dolan), mediocre yet immensely successful pop/rock singers (Niall Horan) and highly capable pop/rock songwriters (Bressie/The Blizzards), The Academic are outsiders who have gazed towards Dublin, London and New York. Judging by their debut album, they have found what they were looking for.
One might think the anything-goes experimental times we live in – when if you so much as admit to liking an honest-to-goodness, straightforward pop song you’re on the receiving end of a glance that mixes disdain with despair – has left little or no room for a musical approach that willingly goes back to basics. Tales from the Backseat, however, lands firmly on its feet, poised and positioned to prove that while left-of-centre will always have its place – and, indeed, take you to places you can only dream about – sometimes a collection of exceptionally efficient pop songs is all you need to blow away the blues.
