I had largely remained immune to the charms of the alt-wonky pop musician Myles Manley til now. The Sligo man had the cheeky audacity to release his debut album under the title Greatest Hits 2012-2013, an audacity that’s easy to admire.
Manley will release a new EP enigmatically-titled More Songs on Trout Records next month and the lead track, ‘Pay Me What I’m Worth’, a two-minute indie pop track, shows us that when Manley wants, he can knock out a classic pop ear worm with the best of them.
