The Nameless is Cathy Davey's third album and follows the hugely successful Tales of Silversleeve, which wom a Choice Music Prize Nomination, and the Meteor Award for Best Irish Female.
The Nameless has more of Cathy's personality in it than any of her previous work, and the effect is astonishing. There's a darkness here that is more prominent than before, but it's coupled expertly with songs as fine as anything she's ever written. Lead single 'Little Red' is the kind of song that will be adopted as a new national anthem, if there's any justice. A pop gem that grew out of long dark nights in that spooky old French house, it's got a soaring chorus coupled to a string section that swells and swoons. It's a fine indicator of the songwriting heights Cathy has reached.
