Here’s the first taster of the forthcoming release from Slow Place Like Home. Home for them – actually one man, Keith Mannion – is Donegal, but ‘Shady Jane’ is not the type of music I’d associate with the northwest coast. Not to be confused with Pavement’s ‘Shady Lane’, ‘Shady Jane [Read more]
The chilled out Sacred Animals teams up with Steffaloo, a singer from Los Angeles, to turn an acoustic track of hers, ‘On Fire’, into a gloriously relaxing, washed out escape. We haven’t heard much from Sacred Animals – Darragh Nolan – since the Welcome Home EP almost a year ago. [Read more]
‘Copy & Paste’ is only three-and-a-half minutes long, but it’s so expansive it feels like you’ve been on an epic journey. The track is the creation of Dublin six-piece She’s A Beauty, who have one EP to their name already, Champagne & Skittles. The expansive ‘Copy & Paste’ is always [Read more]

Dublin three-piece Ginola went to the zoo for the video to ’14 Hormonal Years’. A lovely idea for a video, not reflected in the music. The vocals are bathed in noise, which is ratcheted up for the, er, chorus, and there’s no time to placate anybody with tales of their [Read more]
One half of Datadrip, Steve McEvoy puts his talents to good use on the four-track Imprint EP, the first release under his own name. If you’ve heard Datadrip before, you’ll know they know their way around an electronica track. McEvoy is no slouch, creating 17 minutes of escalating beats that [Read more]
