Peter Delaney, Witch Bottle Album Stream
Out on a Limb have released the full Peter Delaney album Witch bottle for your listening pleasure. The album releases officially on May 10th and shows the influence of “traditional songs and old folk music as well as the lilting melancholy of vintage Hawaian recordings.” We will have more on it in due course. Current...
Sans Chateaux EP Stream
You might remember we were on about some new music from Cork band Sans Chateaux last week. Here’s that link again – http://wearenoise.com/index.php/2013/04/sans-chateaux-new-ep/” You can stream their EP in full now below. Apart from swooning melodies, it also has a sweep and mystery about it which really is quite unusual. According to a follow up...
Ghost Estates – In waves
Mmm. We like this too. Ghost Estates and Twinkranes are putting out a split single for Record Store Day. We’ve just been listening to the Ghost Estates side of the equation and it’s great. Plenty of chorus effects on those guitars for a lovely, shimmering English post-punk effect – kinda Cure-ish but with a bit...
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
Noatak – Noatak EP
Here’s something interesting from Dublin 3-piece Noatak. Over to them for the background. Noatak are an experimental/electronic trio based in Dublin, Ireland. Their lineup is: Carl Cullen – bass, blips and vocals. Cárthach Ó Nuanáin – guitar, beeps and vocals. Dessie Keegan – beats, and vocals. They make strange noises with guitars, synthesizers, samplers and...
Jonny Rep – Won’t you agree
Some new music from Cork band Jonny Rep, who have been off the radar (ours at least) for a little while. This new digital single, Won’t you agree’, has been getting airplay in some of the right places (Phantom, 2FM, you know the ones) and rightly so. It effortlessly recalls Manchester circa 1990, not in...
September Girls – New 7″
This is nice, real nice. A new single from the Dublin girl band, ‘Green eyed’ b/w ‘Danny Wood’, 7″ vinyl on Scottish label Soft Power Records. I already liked what I’d heard from them before (and, I mean, any band called after a Big Star song…) but this sounds like a step up in quality...
Yawning Chasm – Butterfly & Crab EP, free download
A quick follow-up to Rebecca’s preview of the Yawning Chasm gig that took place at Citóg in Galway last night (by the way a great night was had by al, we believe), to launch their new Butterfly & Crab EP. As Rebecca mentioned, the gig would trigger the new EP becoming available on the band’s...
Slow Place Like Home, new material
You might remember we spoke in January about an EP by Donegal-based Keith Mannion, who goes under Slow Place Like Home, the most enjoyable and largely instrumental Coastal hubs for chivalry. To refresh your memory, go here. http://wearenoise.com/index.php/2012/01/slow-place-like-home-coastal-hubs-for-chivalry-ep-self-released/ Keith’s been in touch with some new material, a foretaste of his upcoming album, There go the...
Transcendentalists EP
Some news in advance of the Transcendentalists show at Cork Opera House on May 19th (also The Sugar Club in Dublin the following night). Fat Cat/130701 are releasing a special EP to commemorate the tour, featuring 2 tracks each by Johann Johannsson, Dustin O’Halloran & Hauschka. This is new/reworked material and is being premiered exclusively...
The Fang are in Eire
May we direct your attention to a band playing in Dublin tomorrow night – that’s May 2nd to you – at Academy 2. They are Hooded Fang, they’re from Toronto and we like them a lot around here. Their second album, Tosta Mista (it’s the name of a sandwich, apparently), came out in Canada last...
Myles Manley – Myles Manley EP (Inastorm Records)
And so to our endless research project to bring you nuggets worthy of your attention, treasures which may otherwise have passed you by. This is an EP which caught my eye first because of the glorious artwork, looking like some kind of Man Ray-ograph passed through the hands of Tim Burton (that’s some of it...
