So the earlier post on DES A BODA was just to let you know about the single. Now, the Teen Daze -headed digital label Cultus Vibes has posted the full EP. The track below, Hunter/Gatherer is incredible. It picks you up with some heinous synth strings before the bass drops into a sort of pleasant bastardization of house. Then, the bass clears out for a little bit before swarming back in and pure dubstep carries you to the rest of the track where you wonder where you are for a second or two. [...]

Liquorice allsorts. Could they be the loveliest looking sweets going*? Like I know people can give or take the taste of liquorice, but who can deny how pleasing these sweets just look. Don't you want to jump into the middle of them and chuck them around the place? Or maybe get some glue and build little things out of them, like houses and trucks and turrets? I sure as hell know I do. Inspired by my favourite colourful and chunky sweets, I decided that this week the compost heap will be [...]

Montreal - Free shows in record stores can be a good thing. For one thing, they're free. Another good thing is it gives you something to do before the band goes on - browsing for records. Back home in Toronto, I enjoy checking out shows at Sonic Boom or Soundscapes, so I figured why not check out a good indie music store in Montreal ? The real draw for this show was Braids , a Montreal band I caught this past summer and quite enjoyed. On the bill before them was Calgary's Hunter-Gatherer , who packed their barrage [...]

Hunter-Gatherer's debut album I Dreamed I Was A Footstep In The Trail Of A Murderer was voted the fourth best Irish album of 2009 by readers of this blog and now he returns with a 73 on Osaka Records on August 27th. The two tracks are menacing slices of sparse electronica. 'Pere Lechaise' is the sound of someone following you down a dark city street or into a Parisian cemetery as the title suggests. Hunter-Gatherer - Pere Lachaise [...]

The Body and Soul Gathering is, as they put it themselves, the realisation of a dream and Ireland's most amazing secret garden. Based on the evidence of this scorching celebration of the Summer solstice, they've hit the nail pretty much on the head. Situated in the hidden environs of Ballinlough Castle, the Body and Soul idea will be familiar to thousands of those who have attended Electric Picnic over the years. This gathering is all about celebrating and expanding the ideas that made Body and Soul a highlight of every Picnic, in a truly unique kind of environment. The [...]

All this week, we're having guest posts from various people involved in different strands of Irish music - record shop owners, writers, bloggers, promoters, radio presenters, bands and more, telling us what Irish bands or artists they are really into right now. The last guest post this week comes from fellow blogger Shane Culloty, aka the writer at the helm of Ireland's best and (I feel under-appreciated) The Torture Garden blog. Play us out Shane. 1.

First up: Dave from Road Records : 1. Clancy Paul Clancy is the former drummer with Dublin indie rock outfit National Prayer Breakfast and sadly passed away before this album was released. This is his debut album as was made with a little help from Kevin [...]

Orbital remain the benchmark for thoughtful bleepages down our way. They were purveyors of albums with songs that only truly came alive in the context of their siblings. And that very thought struck me as I sat through Hunter-Gatherer's debut long player 'I Dreamed I Was A Footstep In The Trail Of A Murderer'. To look at it one way this could just be a collection of indistinct ambient asides but a bit of careful nurturing reveals a cerebral artist reinventing snivilisation. And the rewards are worth hanging in there for because although they never sound calculated the ideas always [...]
