If someone breaks into your house to murder you, you should be entitled to stick a knife in their eye and say “Listen, if one of us is going to die, it’s not going to be me.” such is the style of musing and social commentary seeping from the pores of the new album from Jinx Lennon.

His delivery and musical style is original to say the least and inspired by the nobility of “the maverick spirits of those who stood apart and were adamant about their own peculiar vision and who never really got the kudos they deserved, to a point where most people hated what they did.” But there’s nothing to hate about what Jinx Lennon does. He even pulls-off speaking in tongues on Everyone’s Got a Mental Home I.T.H.
Ms Paula Flynn joins Jinx on a number of tracks to subdue the harsh angst that creeps out of him, particularly on The Ferris Wheel at Dowdallshill and adds the sense of hymn to The Orange Cranes of Greenore while Jinx compares orange cranes to nightclub bouncers.
