Citóg presents the EP launch of Yawning Chasm at the Cellar Bar in Galway this Thursday June 28th from 9. I would hope that most Noise readers are familiar with Yawning Chasm by now (wouldn’t we all Rebecca – Ed.), but if not, here follows something which I’ve said about them before. They are an...

Japan-based act Darugaries play the Cellar Bar in Galway this Monday May 28th from 9. While little information exists online about this group of which members and musical instruments are interchangeable, it has been said that they play a kind of traditional, psychedelic meditation music in an idle performance. Their music revolves around the bass...
Yawning Chasm, video
Yawning Chasm have produced a video for the spine-tingling eponymous track off their Whispered Sun EP, released in March. Directed by friend to the band Jimmy Monaghan and shot by Jason Kane, the premise is simple. The results, enthralling.

Dott – Button EP (Popical Island)
Diabetics might be wise to steer clear of Dott’s debut EP Button, to be officially released on May 17th via Popical Island, due to high sugar content. There is an innate sweetness to the retro-pop on offer with knee-bending melodies, heart-warming harmonies and earnest lyrics such as “Let’s do it, let’s fall in love”, “If...

Hidden Highways EP on OOAL
Hidden Highways have kept a pretty low profile on the release front since digital single ‘Fox Eyes On Georgia’ dropped via Out On A Limb Records’ SoundCloud account last April. Exactly one year on, the logic behind the inactivity becomes clear as the duo break the silence in startling fashion. They’ve been busy working on...

Yawning Chasm/Brigid Power-Ryce/Jimmy Monaghan – Bell, Book & Candle, Galway, 04.04.12
Photo: Aisling Walsh – https://ashmosis.wordpress.com/ We all know the hit-or-miss pain that is the Irish in-store gig. Anyone who has ever attended one is likely to have telepathically heard the inward screams of a poor guitar-tuning soul over the deafening silence of the crowd, and participated in a collective wince. Every once in a while...
