about

From openers ‘One Foot Out The Door’s stark confession and ‘Angel At Your Back’s reflections of ‘Waiting For My Man’, to the delicate intimacy of ‘Outsider Blues’ and ‘Just For An hour’, McMahon brings a quiet authority to his songs allowing the economy of his lines to be savoured for their wry or poignant observations. Importantly that poignancy is part of the timbre of McMahon’s voice, a gentle ache that coaxes delicate melodies that earworm in a way that is wholly believable and moving.
On Just To See You Again, McMahon is joined by fellow Blind Date artist Freya Josephine Hollick and the aching blend of these two voices is mesmerising. Throughout the record the arrangements maintain an uncluttered focus through which the songs flow, allowing a lightness of touch and a confidence in the strength of the songs to carry their weight.

Reference points might be Blood On The Tracks Bob Dylan or On The Beach Neil Young but that risks reducing the work to pastiche, instead of regarding it as the work of a dedicated, deft artist. On You Will Know When You're There, Sean has distilled his influences into an exceptional selection of songs and proves that to deliver something memorable, hard yards must be done, experience must be developed and craft learned and refined.

The attention to detail in the compositions. Each title represents in itself, an overall dominance and mastery of his style of songwriting. The music displayed is of the most sincere and delicate nature, from the ground upwards. billac

Everything about this album is top-notch, but that's not why I felt the need to gush about it. This thing has magic inside it. If I'm feeling down to any degree, I know I can put this album on and come out the other side of it feeling refreshed, more energetic, more alive, inspired. Also, Freya's vocal ability is more than just technically impressive; her well-honed expressiveness can transport the listener straight into the worlds inside each song. This album's more potent than most medicine. yadoog
