Niamh Hegarty joined Rigsy and Stu to discuss some of their favourite new releases including:
Cave Ghosts - Come Into My World
Niamh: “You might remember this as a Kylie Minogue track.I just think this is a gorgeous cover and it’s just made by its beautiful harmonies. “
Terriers - Clean My Bones
Niamh: “They’re a four piece instrumental band based in Cork. This is one of the few tracks they have which actually has vocals on it. I just think this is a great tune.”
Skelocrats - Zirconium Heart
Stuart: “The Skelocrats just get into the meat of the song, they deliver, they hit the chorus high and fast. A bit it of humour in there, and they remind me of things like Ariel Pink - a wee bit of Arcade Fire maybe in that chorus line.”
All Tvvins - Thank you
Niamh: “The sky just really is the limit at the moment for All Tvvins. Aside from it being really upbeat and having kind of, almost LCD Soundsystem beats, it’s a really emotive tune.”
Rigsy:“Already All Tvvins seem to have made a splash outside of their own backyard.”
Stuart: “I think this is going to be one of the big soundtrack tunes of the year. Every time you hear it, it just lifts you a little bit…it’s subtly great.“
Lantern for a Gale – Perfect Things
Niamh: “It’s my favourite track on… their debut album. Apparently they recorded this themselves which is quite hard to fathom as it sounds so professional. I just think it’s an incredible album and an incredible achievement.”
Neon Drive – Hunted
Rigsy: “Very strong stuff.”
Stuart: “It’s someone who’s thought about it or instinctively just listened to loads of great records and has a way of presenting themselves to the world. Definite promise I would say.”
Vann Music – Boy
Niamh: “This is just a wonderful track, and they’re a band best experienced live.”
Rigsy: “Just really, really epic vibes across this. It’s impressive stuff.”
