It seems now that Ian Daniel Kehoe has been hiding in plain sight. A classicsongwriter pulling from a seemingly endless supply of hooks, dancingthrough his debut video in silver face paint and an assortment of wideshouldered sports jackets, Kehoe appears somewhat like an apparition, anemissary from a better world.Secret Republic,Kehoes debut under his own name, is an entirely self assuredfirst record, ten confident, immaculate pop songs, drenched in analog synthand punchily articulate in their pursuit of love, beauty and rhythm.Recorded and performed entirely by Kehoe himself, the record is a introductionto this world, one where melody reigns supreme, every love is a true love,and the singer searches endlessly for prizes through the mazes of the jungles,prizes at the tips of the poles.
