Episode 102: Faoin Talamh
Who Art Thou?
07/17/24 • 53 min
Today I am joined by Oisín Murray and Róisín Doyle of Faoin Talamh, a new ancient Irish audio-visual project that will be debuting this Friday in Unit 44, Dublin.
The audio-visual collaboration is made using the sounds of Irish Bronze Age musical instruments in tandem with abstracted imagery of Irish Flora.
In this episode we will be talking about how this project began, the ancient sites the pair visited when researching for the project, the instruments played (all of which I've never even heard of), how you go about composing music that has no original sheet music for it or recordings, how Róisín created the beautiful visuals for the project and how people have died playing the instruments - I'm deadly serious, that has happened.
I had the pleasure of getting to see an example of what way this work would take form in and was really blown away at the combination of the music that Oisín has composed for this project played alongside the audio-visual's Róisín created, perfectly in sync and flowing with each other throughout the piece. Friday night at Unit 44 will be an event not to be missed. Tickets will be available at the door for €5.
Faoin Talamh also gave me a snippet of one of the pieces to open this episode, which is entitled 'Dúros' and is available to listen now on Spotify.

Episode 99: Virgins
Who Art Thou?
07/08/24 • 64 min
Today I am joined by Michael Smyth of the Belfast based shoegaze band, Virgins!
We will be talking about the band's album 'nothing hurt and everything was beautiful', released in April through blowtorch records. The album finds the band exploring a wider sonic palette, seamlessly moving between the gaze-pop of ‘slowly, long’ and ‘disappearer’, to the dance influenced ‘softer’ and to the heavy, expansive and ethereal ‘pale fire’ and ‘tend’. Their captivating sound doesn’t rely on recycling shoegaze tropes but brings a fresh and contemporary approach to the genre. It is legitimately one of my favourite releases of the year.
On top of all this, Michael is also a promoter and do PR as Old Crows Promotions and a booking agent as Fever Dream Touring so we'll be chatting about some of the events he has put on, including Gazefest, which is a shoegaze festival that will be going on in Belfast and Dublin this year, featuring an incredible stacked lineup of incredible bands.

Episode 97: Ren Marabou and the Berserkers
Who Art Thou?
06/27/24 • 56 min
Finally back with a new episode of the podcast!
Today I am joined by Ren and Terence of the band, Ren Marabou and the Berserkers. They are a Viking Metal/Norse Pagan Rock band hailing from Donegal and have recently been signed with the Italian based Label Wormholedeath.
In this episode, we'll explore the origins of the band, their creative process, and the inspirations behind their unique sound, the stories and lyrically themes that are explored in their music and their fantastic album Helgafjell, which was released March and is right up there with some of my most listened to releases of the year. I really do mean this when I say it, there is quite literally nobody doing what these guys are doing in Ireland at the moment.
Major thank you and shout out to Craig (Sea High) for doing the sound for this episode. Get on to him if you need any sound help, he did an awesome job.
I loved recording this episode, the band are incredible so I hope you enjoy it!

Episode 100: lil cis
Who Art Thou?
07/13/24 • 85 min
The 100th episode is here!
For this milestone episode I'll be joined by my good friend Zach Stephenson.
Zach would be the man that I'd largely credit with sparking my love for music and live shows, being the first person to take me to local shows and introduce me to a whole different side to music that I didn't even know existed.
You may know Zach from his previous band Munky, his work with Skinner (You can hear Zach on Skinner's latest single,'New Wave Vaudeville', which is fantastic if you haven't heard it) and he's currently on tour with Sprints, who just opened for Idles last night.
For this episode though, we'll be chatting about Zach's new musical project, lil cis, and his debut album set to be released later this year. It's a fantastically beautiful album from start to finish and features a whole host of amazing musicians playing alongside him on the album. I was listening to it so much and humming it that Zach deleted the link to the mixes on me hahaha.
I'll be chatting to Zach about his recording process, the themes of the album, Magaluf, the Euros, touring life and a bunch of other random topics that we always go down on this podcast.
Here's to 100 more episodes!

Episode 96: Sacred Noose
Who Art Thou?
06/02/24 • 58 min
My guests today are Adam and Mike of the Belfast Extreme Metal band, Sacred Noose!
Describing their sound as noise-laden, heavily discordant black, death & doom metal, I first caught this band live where they opened for Horrenda during their headline show in Fibbers a couple of months ago and was immediately hooked by the sheer sonic-assault of their performance.
I'll be chatting to the band about the fantastic EP that they released last year called 'Renounce the Flesh', which is some of the most uncompromising metal I've heard in a long time and I will also be chatting about the album the band are currently working on, which I really can't wait for already.

Who Art Thou?
05/20/24 • 52 min

Episode 116: Tokoloshe
Who Art Thou?
10/19/24 • 96 min
On today's episode I will be chatting to indie alt folk artist, Tokoloshe!
I first met Tokoloshe in Sin E (adding to the ever extending list of guests on this podcast through that bar) and after his performance we spent the night having a lovely chat about how awesome Sepultura are and how he should come on the podcast. So it was fantastic to finally have him on, especially since we'll be chatting about his lovely latest single, 'Cosmic Holiday', which was released last week on October 7th.
The conversation proceeded to go down many avenues, including where the project gets it's name from, BRAT (of course), Aliens (which take a large feature in Tokoloshe's music), AI and it's future use in creative circles, Tool, Mastodon and the music in South Africa.
Tokoloshe is going to preforming plenty in the near future so be sure to catch them live wherever you can!
