Working with other peoples' words is something that comes as natural to me as working with my own.

2022 . After blazing a trail with 2020's critically acclaimed Good Luck Seeker, The Waterboys waste no time in delivering their brand new record All Souls Hill. The album is nine tracks of Waterboys brilliance, all mixed by Scott himself. All Souls Hill is current, on the money social commentary, but with an air of hope. InchAll Souls Hill is mysterious, otherworldly, tune-banging and emotional.Inch comments Mike. InchI made it with Waterboys old and new and my co-producer, brilliant sonic guru Simon Dine. It's nine songs tell stories, explore dreamscapes, and cast a cold but hopeful eye on the human drama.Inch
