Loose Joints Podcast: Live at Another Love Story with Conor O’Brien & Richie Egan

Loose Joints is a podcast where we talk to a guest and play music they like new and old. True to the name, the podcast features a loose collection of tunes, tied together by very little logic, just like our chats. Nialler9 and Sally Cinnamon are your hosts.

Another Love Story is the perfect gathering. A festival in a manor house in Meath where the audience was as integral to the vibe as the music and happenings. Lovingly organised with thoughtful programming (it finishes at 6.30 on a Sunday so it feels different to others) with attention to details down to the aesthetic of the bins.

Part of its intimacy extends to the library and front room where talks and performances happen and a sprinkle of spontaneity hangs in the air. Donal Lunny might show up and lead a folk club, your mate might start being a literal windowlicker when you’re recording a podcast as what happened when Loose Joints did a live recording of the pod with guests Conor O’Brien (Villagers) and Richie Egan (Jape).

Giddy tunes, Skin flutes, cowboy trousers, artists who are doses or not, dubstep remixes, being overshadowed by your duet collaborator, how to have a casual conversation with Bjork and outlier electronica are just some of the things we covered in our hour. Special thanks to Siobhan Kane for having us down in the Library and to the Another Love Story audience in the room and beyond.

You should listen to this honest Richie Egan interview on Jarlath Regan’s podcast

Richie Egan (Jape) is the latest guest on Jarlath Regan’s An Irishman Abroad podcast and the interview features some frank and honest words from Egan.

Egan talks about his thoughts on his position as an artist in the world and where he fits in, he talks about moving to Malmo and the cultural and social differences between Dublin and the city, honest creativity and relationships in art, his ‘death phase’ as well as talking about the possibly, clinical depression he’s felt in recent years and how he’s dealing with it.

It’s an extremely honest interview.

Listen to Richie Egan’s off-cuts collection .wav goodbye

.wav goodbye is an 8-track collection of music cut from the demo folders of Richie Egan aka Jape, previously unreleased and available on Bandcamp for pay what you want.

Richie had this to say:

here’s a little home recorded experiment of stuff i wanna move on from, my friends always tell me i never release most of the stuff i do, and that is true to be honest because i see song writing as a gift to help with my mental health..

so when the song is done i feel like in a way it has served it’s purpose.. but i thought i’d show you some of the out casts that thus far haven’t seen the light..

hope you’re good and i hope you dig the roughness and weirdness of these tunes..

.wav goodbye
x rich

Jape plays Vicar Street on December 12th.

First Listen: Somadrone feat. Richie Egan – ‘Invitation’

Neil O’Connor is a prolific composer and producer. His previous Somadrone album The First Wave explored live electronic music with vintage synthesizers.

For his fifth album, Oracle, to be released on September 18th, O’Connor was more inspired by the kind of music his recent listening / club night: early disco, library music and acid house all filtered through a more minimal approach which can be heard on the sumptuous first track from the album ‘Invitation’ featuring Jape’s Richie Egan, a song which keeps things relatively sparse but still builds up into a heady synth crescendo. Check the video by Kevin Mc Gloughlain and Leon Giblin.
