Album stream premiere: Tieranniesaur – DIYSCO

2 weeks ago in Albums & Releases
DIYSCO-ALBUM-ARTWORK

Tieranniesaur are back with a second album of disco indie jams. Listen to it here.

Having spent the last two years bringing their block-rocking lo-fi disco indie tunes around Ireland, Tieranniesaur have regrouped for another round of “DIYSCO”.

As you would expect, DIYSCO is a collection of 12 upbeat tracks lead by the voice of Annie Tierney which add more of a forceful edge to the band’s sound. The title track and first single is a messy but endearing first representation of an album which reveals subtle expressions on the disco-indie format throughout on the starry-eyed alt-pop of ‘Maro Rides The Wave’, the synth-funk of ‘Chill Bros’, the good-time horn-assisted and brilliantly-titled ‘Looking Up The Skirts Of Giants’, the wavey-synth and strings rabbit-hole of ‘Horses With Melting Eyes’, the loose-rock glitter of ‘No Big Deal’ and the sweetness of ‘The Changeling’.

Listen to Young Wonder’s Show Your Teeth EP

2 weeks ago in Albums & Releases

3572800201-1If you’re a regular reader of this site, you’ll likely have heard ‘To You’ and ‘Time’ from Cork duo Young Wonder’s second EP Show Your Teeth. The whole EP is now up for listening and purchasing and the other tracks to pay attention to include the boom-bap dragging electro of ‘Electrified’ which is the closest they’ve come to sounding like Purity Ring, the broken-up rhythm and vocal track ‘Seventeen’ and the out and out electronic banger which is a live favourite ‘Bullet’. The EP is further evidence of Ian Ring’s serious production chops.

Show Your Teeth is out now on Feel Good Lost Records via iTunes or Bandcamp and the duo have live dates coming up in Christchurch Cathedral for Evening Songs with Heathers and Ham Sandwich (and a choir), Sea Sessions, Indiependence, Latitude, Longitude, Castlepalooza and Strange Brew’s Cruise.

Spies – ‘Distant Shorelines’

3 weeks ago in Indie & Alternative
spies

Dublin band Spies are back with ‘Distance Shorelines’, the first single from the band since 2011′s ‘Barricade’. The song’s distorted indie-rock dynamics are paired with Michael Broderick’s emotive voice. Howling post-punk guitars, crashing cymbals and an ’80s rock beat are also present on the B-side ‘Mint & Lime’ by the five-piece. The two songs sound like a young band really coming into their own. The band have been compared to The National and Interpol but while the former is suitable still, I can’t help but think of the intensity of Savages who I’ve been listening to a fair bit lately. ‘Distant Shorelines’ / ‘Mint & Lime’ will be released on Trout Records. There’ll be a launch party in the Button Factory on May 23rd.
