White Sage is the new project from Andy Walsh, who recently opened the new Little Gem Record shop off O’Connell Street, plays as I Heart The Monster Hero, GODHATESDISCO and runs Record Store Gay, is a decidedly more dreamy affair, inspired by kraut and elongated instrumental music. “Dreamwave music to ride your bike to,” is what he calls it.
There’s a White Sage EP to hear at The Thin Air. ‘Parnell Street June 1955’ is easily my highlight from it.
