Now, here’s a good idea. Combine the two brightest electronic disco-dance bands in Ireland at the moment on one 7″. Synth Eastwood will release the multi-faceted collaborative vinyl which will feature a track each from I Am The Cosmos and Ships (Both bands share a member in Cian Murphy), artwork by John Cowhie (Goodtime) on May 25th with a launch on the same night.
Both tracks are stormers – Ships‘ ‘You’re Gonna Feel It’ sounds like the best of Chromeo (i.e. – A VERY GOOD THING) with a talkie bit intro setting the mood before the killer hook comes in while I Am The Cosmos‘ ‘Take What You Want’ is decidedly moodier but has a full on Italo vibe. More of these kind of releases please Ireland.
