Kneecap – Fine Art (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Belfast's Irish-language rap trio built their reputation the hard way, gigging relentlessly across Ireland and the UK before the world caught up to what their community already knew. Kneecap raps primarily in Irish Gaelic at a time when the language carries real political weight in the North, making their music an act of cultural reclamation as much as entertainment. Fine Art arrives with the group's profile exploding internationally, including a celebrated semi-autobiographical film of the same name.
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.
