about

Twelve new songs recorded at home October 2021 - June 2022.

Praise for Things Keep Getting In The Way:

"None of these tunes breach the three-minute mark (indeed, a couple wrap up in under two), and there are no duds among them, making the album a veritable masterclass in superb succinct songcraft." - Irish News

"Somehow, this album just feels more accomplished, diligent and earnest than what has gone before... and whilst his trademark humour is still very obvious, it is now surrounded by something more substantial." - Janglepophub

"The best of his recent recordings. Brogan has a knack for writing tunes that make you feel good. The combination of his voice and the clean jangle guitar riffs has a soothing effect." - Add To Want List

"Brogan's just going about writing magical songs." - Austin Town Hall

"Neil Brogan is a master of concise guitar pop nuggets...We had a brief editorial debate about whether the album is front-loaded or back-loaded, but decided that it was a trick question. The album is just plain loaded. This may be Neil's best, most consistent work. And for a man that has impressed us for a long time, that is quite a feat." - When You Motor Away

Rockpool Blue
by Sea Pinks

supported by 19 fans who also own “Things Keep Getting In The Way”

Rockpool Blue captures and evokes the classic late 80s bands such as McCarthy, Sea Urchins or The Smiths. I don't know if Neil Brogan, the chief creator within Sea Pinks, is influenced by that era or not but he and his cohorts have made another highly listenable record filled with lush guitar pop music. Brogan has suggested that Rockpool Blue maybe their last album. I certainly hope not. DJ_ShamboliX

Still Life
by Massage

supported by 17 fans who also own “Things Keep Getting In The Way”

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist

Songs From Another Life
by The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness

supported by 16 fans who also own “Things Keep Getting In The Way”

The indie pop on Songs From Another Life sounds confident yet delicate, and the strummy and jangly guitars makes me long for spring. Some songs sound like straight up Teenage Fanclub worship, but in a good way. Fans of The Byrds and Big Star will probably dig this as well. Niek || Add To Wantlist
