TPOE 287: John Francis Flynn

The Point of Everything

John Francis Flynn released his second album Look Over the Wall, See the Sky on November 10, receiving rave reviews from the likes of the Quietus, which called it "an album full of generosity and insight, songs that show us to ourselves in the way perhaps only folk music can", and Stereogum, Ryan Leas hailing it as "a stunning level-up from an already fascinating artist". We talked on a cold November morning about the making of Look Over the Wall, See the Sky, influences, trad and the idea of genre, the state of Dublin, Paddywhackery, and creme de menthe.
