Product Details
The gold certification on this pressing is earned. Kneecap arrived fully formed as a cultural force, rapping primarily in Irish Gaelic at a moment when the language's survival is genuinely contested political territory in the North. That context sharpens every track on Fine Art considerably, turning what might read as pure chaos into something with real stakes beneath the surface.
When Belfast's Kneecap - aka Mo Chara, Moglaà Bap and DJ Provaà - entered the studio with producer Toddla T in the summer of 2023, they quickly decided to scrap everything they had already prepared and 'build' a pub together. The Rutz is currently a figment of their imagination, but across Fine Art's twelve tracks, and the interconnecting moments between them, it comes to life vividly, providing the perfect backdrop for the cast of characters that appear throughout. Like the band themselves, Fine Art is fiercely intelligent, consistently hilarious, and genuinely thought provoking. It seamlessly merges Irish with English and satire with socially conscious lyrics. It's genius is to immerse you in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music. The group also recently took this year's Sundance Film Festival by storm with their self-titled Rich Peppiatt directed semi-biopic film starring Michael Fassbender.
