The Dublin duo return with an uncharacteristic slow burner.
It’s been a while since we heard from the Dublin electro duo Buffalo Woman, aka Neil Watkins and Tim O’Donovan. They have come back to us with a 7-minute track that’s much more melancholic and reaching than what we’re used to from them. The track goes from yearning, twinkling atmospheric synth pop to incorporate guitar… Read more »

The synth-loving cinematic trio are back.
The Dublin electro three-piece Sleep Thieves have been quiet the last while since 2014’s full-length You Want The Night but their pulsating synthesiser electronica is very much in tact with their returning track ‘Is This Ready?’. The song has the foreboding noir atmospherics of their established work with vocalist Sorcha Brennan at her most dramatic…. Read more »
