His second album 'The Herring and the Brine', written over a three-and-a-half-year period, was released in 2007. "The album is a subtle and tender portrayal of various characters' lives through the themes of self-doubt, failure, resilience and the search for meaning. The album's narratives deal with the exhaustion of a novice priest; the regret of a failed Latin American President; the slow drift to despair of a drowning man; and the reflected shock on an isolated rural community following a brutal murder by two sisters. Other than that, it's fairly cheerful." - Mumblin' Deaf Ro.
