Emmett Tinley 1. Marvelous Day 2. Polichinelle 3. Dead Flowers 4. It Hurts To Lose You 5. Comfort Me 6. Takes A Long Time To Heal 7. Sooner or Later Emmett Tinley was born in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in Co. Wicklow in Ireland. Through the 1990's he fronted the critically acclaimed Irish band The Prayer Boat. The band took a break as the new millennium began and Emmett moved to Amsterdam to work on his first solo album. At the end of 2000 he was signed by Craig Kallman to Atlantic Records in New York. The Prayer Boat's final album, 'Polichinelle', was released in the US in March 2001. Emmett embarked on three solo tours of the US but with the label in disarray after 9/11 he decided to return to Europe and focus on recording the new album, 'Attic Faith'. Working with mainly jazz musicians from Denmark (Martin Spure on bass, Nikolaj Bundvig on drums and Allin Bang on keyboards) the songs began to take shape and Emmett recruited guitarist Marijn Slager (from the Dutch rock ! band Nuff Said) as plans for recording the album came together. Australian producer Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, Beth Orton, PJ Harvey) was brought in to produce and recording began in New York in March 2003. By the end of the year Attic Faith was finished but Atlantic were unclear about what to do next. Plans were put on hold and Emmett moved back to Dublin, finally convincing Atlantic to allow him an Ireland-only release. Attic Faith was licensed to Independent Records and was released in April 2005 ...
