t-woc – Hoshorom EP (Invisible Agent)
Invisible Agent were in touch about the new t-woc release. The Hoshorom EP is a collection of sometimes spacey, sometimes stalking 8-bit sounds with plenty of squidgy goodness added. You’ll remember Stephen also recommended the previous Invisible Agent release Selected Zoidworks recently (http://wearenoise.com/index.php/2013/02/zoid-selected-zoidworks-05-12-invisible-agent/). So they’ve got form in boundary-pushing electronic releases. Hoshorom by T-Woc

He got in touch recently with some soundcloud links, which reveal a deft touch with warm, fizzing electronica. We asked him to tell us a bit more about himself and what life is like in the...
Bantum – Legion (Eleven Eleven)
Words: Brian Murphy It seems to be the done thing these days that the multitude of bland singer songwriters in this country eventually have some foray into electronic music. A sort of musical mid life crisis as it were. It always promises so much, but rarely delivers. Cork’s Ruairi Lynch, aka Bantum, seems to have...

Slow Place Like Home, new music
From Donegal, news of more Slow Place Like Home activity. The lead track from new EP Post-Hoc went online literally minutes ago. It has the catchy title of ‘Blondie Chaplin is our captain’.
