“I’m in the abyss!” – Abandon Reason Compilation #1
One of our Galway friends was on the blower the other day, Declan Kelly (of Yawning Chasm fame, among other things). He’s embarking on a new project, so let’s hear from him as to what it’s about. It’s called “I’m in the abyss!” and is a compilation of new songs recorded by Yawning Chasm, Brigid...
Yawning Chasm play Galway
Some people like the Fleadh. Some people treasure Connemara. For others, it’s the GG’s during Race Week. For us, we’re digging Galway’s DIY semi-folk scene, and close observers will know that Yawning Chasm are our faves in this respect. They play that city’s Cellar Bar this week, and provide this important advance information. This will...
Office Playlist: Yawning Chasm – 3 EP
Photo: Brigid Power Ryce The third of four EPs from the now 3-piece from Galway (having added Jimmy Monaghan on drums, to existing duo Aaron Coyne and Declan Kelly), following previous releases Whispered sun and Butterfly and crab. A little birdie told me, even though they’ve expanded their lineup, this EP features only singer Aaron...
Hidden Highways/Yawning Chasm – Gigs you don’t want to miss
When I think back over the years (there are so many of them), I realise that my life is littered with the gigs I missed. I’m not talking about those familiar out-of-reach gigs – that Féile that you couldn’t get to cos, I dunno, you bought the ticket with your girlfriend/boyfriend and then you broke...

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...
Yawning Chasm Launch New EP, Thursday
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...
Darugaries with Yawning Chasm – Cellar Bar, Galway, May 28th
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. The video sees Aaron Coyne and Declan Kelly play the song through a pane of glass...
Yawning Chasm – Whispered Sun EP
We heard from Galway duo Yawning Chasm last week about release details for their new Whispered Sun EP (go here to refresh your memory), and some other things. To mark the end of their recent series of live shows with Brigid Power-Ryce (Cork, Limerick, Dublin, Galway), they’ve put together a very neat round-up of the...
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...
Yawning Chasm, release details
Having been tipped off by Albert in Plugd recently about Galway’s new slowcore heroes, Yawning Chasm, we asked the band to tell us more about their current plans “The CD (Whispered Sun EP) is a limited edition EP we made specifically for the small tour we did there a couple of weeks ago. Each one...
