Britain's DRAGON WELDING shares 'Start Believing, Start Living The Lie' from fourth album 'The Naughty Step'

May 5, 2025

UK electro noise-pop duo Dragon Welding presents 'Start Believing, Start Living The Lie', along with a new video filmed in locations from Romford to Manchester. In contrast to the visuals for the more sedate and introverted single 'Hiding Things For Fun', here Dragon Welding captures the raw energy explosion of this most frenetic end of the album’s scale.

Dragon Welding is Andrew Golding, multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of Essex-based indie noise-pop legends The Wolfhounds, and vocalist Nick Cockshott (formerly of leftfield indie rockers The Spores and The Keatons). Initially joining Golding for a one-off show in 2023, they soon began working together on new material, resulting in the 2024 single 'These Are Dangerous Times', a radical electronic reworking of Dragon Welding's debut release five years prior, marking Dragon Welding's rebirth as a group.

'Start Believing, Start Living The Lie' challenges the accepted truths of modern life and invites the listener to see them for what they really are. With so many meaningless job titles out there, it’s small wonder so many struggle to find fulfilment. "Why not just go for a walk somewhere pretty then sit down and read a good book? Not everything happens on screens," says Golding.

Dragon Welding's fourth album 'The Naughty Step' (out now via Dimple Discs) is the first record to feature Nik Cockshott. With a consistent voice, a solid focus on idiosyncratic and dark electronic backing, augmented by an increasing plethora of obtuse instrumentation, unpretentious ecologically and socially-relevant lyrics, Dragon Welding continues a tradition of blending clever guitar with mischievous sonic and rhythmic manipulations.

Dragon Welding recently shared a captivating 'stop-start' animation video for 'The Naughty Step', created by award-winning graphic artist Andy Royston, following the uptempo 'We Dance Among You', the video for ‘Up And Away’ and its related 3-track single - a clarion call to a dozing generation.

After debuting in 2019 with a well-received eclectic eponymous album, Dragon Welding released the all-instrumental 'Lights Behind The Eyes’ (2021) and then ‘Fictionary’ (2023), which featured guest appearances by Anthony Chapman of Collapsed Lung and Alice Golding of The Othyrs.

'The Naughty Step' album is out everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Musicand Bandcamp. Vinyl and CDs are also available from Rough Trade, Amazon and Resident Records. With another album already pretty much in the can, this duo has more to say than ever and are ready to move on to the next stage.

Irish legacy project Bring Your Own Hammer to release 'My Grief on the Sea' with Dimple Discs.

April 29, 2025

Bring Your Own Hammer (BYOH), in collaboration with Peckham-based label Dimple Discs, has announced the forthcoming vinyl release of the ambitious Irish music compilation 'My Grief on the Sea'. Bringing some of Ireland’s and Britain’s finest songwriters together with historians to create new and original song cycles based on historical sources and to interpret song material rooted in the history of 19th-century Ireland and of the Irish Diaspora.

Not a band, nor a group, an ensemble or even a collective, Bring Your Own Hammer is a faction but, unlike 19th century Irish factions (who met, armed with sticks and two-handed wattles in fairs and markets), BYOH is armed with voices and instruments and dedicated, as no faction before, to the re-interpretation of historical material in song form.

‘My Grief On The Sea’ is dedicated to Cathal Coughlan, one of Ireland’s most revered singer-songwriters and frontman of acclaimed 80s-90s groups Microdisney and Fatima Mansions). The first vinyl LP to be released through BYOH, this album is brimming with contributions from superb artists, including Linda Buckley, Cathal Coughlan, Adrian Crowley, Eileen Gogan, Carol Keogh, Michelle O’Rourke, Brigid Mae Power, Michael J Sheehy, Mike Smalle and Jah Wobble,

This is a collection of songs about the sea, maritime voyages, and migration to and from Ireland during the 1800s. These songs criss-cross the Atlantic, following the remaining threads of lives shaped, in one way or another, by the sea. In 'Golden Streets, Bitter Tears' by Adrian Crowley with Brigid Mae Power, for instance, lines written in the letters of migrants to North America are matched with beautiful melodies.

You will hear the echoes of words from a bog in Co. Roscommon, sung in grief for a lost lover, who has departed overseas in the decades after the Famine (on the beautiful title track, Michelle O’Rourke’s ‘My Grief on the Sea’). Imagine yourself with Carol Keogh on the quays of New Ross in 1849, as Biddy and Catherine Keogh depart for New York (on the stunning ‘A Pair of Packed Valises (before the Dunbrody), 1849’) or picture yourself crossing the Atlantic in 1881 on a ship with Mary Connaughty (on the melancholy and haunting ‘Old Oak Road’ by Mike Smalle with Cathal Coughlan and Jah Wobble).

Join Cathal Coughlan and Linda Buckley on the roads of Co. Carlow, during the 1832 cholera epidemic, as a man called Crowley returns to Ireland after thirty years at sea (on the complex and poignant ‘The Man with Open Arms’). Sail the high seas with Eileen Gogan and Neil Farrell disguised as a cabin boy (on the sad and beautiful ‘Female Cabin Boy’) or stand with Tony Higgins and Agu on the quays of Dublin as the multitudes depart during the Famine (on the vibrant yet melancholy ‘Embarkation’).

Mike Smalle and Wally Nkikita trace Joseph Keys’ journey to Ireland from the time he leaves his life of enslavement in Virginia to his departure, from Baltimore, on board a ship across the Atlantic in early 1844 (on the melodious and tragic ‘Over the Ghosts’). Contemplate the rumble and power of the sea with Mike Smalle (on the sparkling track, ‘The Oscillating Sea’). Finally, imagine Marie and her lover swimming off the coast of Ireland as the effects of the Famine drive people from the land and towards the sea (on the starkly beautiful ‘The Weight of Water’ by Michael J. Sheehy).

This album is curated by Dr. Richard Mc Mahon, lecturer in History at MIC, Limerick, who explores forms of invented history that expose the villainy of the Irish race, both on the island and overseas, with support from Dr. Niall Whelehan, senior lecturer at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, who has written widely on the history of modern Ireland and the Irish diaspora with a focus on the 19th century.

As of June 6, 'My Grief on the Sea' will be released on limited edition vinyl with a lovely gatefold sleeve and 12-page booklet with credits and mini-essays on these songs. It will be available via Bandcamp, where the digital and CD versions can already be had.

Soulful Sound & Introspection: Kelsey Michael's 'Lethowsow' album is out now via Dimple Discs

April 22, 2025

Emerging from southwestern England, Kelsey Michael unveils her first solo effort, 'Lethowsow', released by Peckham-based imprint Dimple Discs. Drawing inspiration from the iconic piano-driven sounds of 60s and 70s artists like Laura Nyro and Carole King, this seven-song collection blends modern art-pop sensibility with powerful vocals, feel-good melodies reminiscent of classic pop, and mesmerizing folk drones.

With this album, Kelsey Michael's unique sound having garnered BBC 6 Music support from Radcliffe and Maconie, and also Gilles Peterson, in addition to rave reviews from an array of publications, with UNCUT's Rob Hughes dubbing this "Nyro-esque rapture" and "beguiling... infused with natural wonder".

Kelsey's own history in the music scene is many-storied. Previously a theatre performer and movie soundtrack singer, you may also recognize her voice from Jocelyn Pook’s score for Stanley Kubrick’s final film 'Eyes Wide Shut' or through her collaborations with Anglo-Irish avant-pop band The High Llamas and their endlessly inventive songwriter Sean O’Hagan. In fact, she features on five of Sean’s albums, including his 2019 solo release 'Radum Calls Radum Calls'.

Many moons have passed since her first job as a backing singer for music legends The The on their European tour. Since then Kelsey Michael has released two EPs with her previous London-based band Minnow, the second of which (‘Out Of The Woods’) came out on Stereolab label Duophonic and also involves Sean O’Hagan, receiving notable praise from The Wire and The Guardian, among others.

Celebrating song whilst transporting us to the magical wild West Cornwall landscape - Kelsey’s chosen home, anchor and inspiration - this album is a cinematic breath of fresh air. "Lethowsow" (pronounced Laith-oh-so), means ‘the milky ones’ in old ‘Kernewek’ language - this old Cornish name being given the treacherous Seven Stones reef off Lands End, a large stretch of vertical rocks like sharks’ teeth which are always covered with white water. Kelsey loved the soft sound of this word, describing the rocks in a magical way, as if they were characters.

For Kelsey, this album represents the awesome and humbling power of nature, the sea being a major character in this release. 'Swimming' takes us wading into waves, "cooling off the heat deep inside", with watery glissando from stunning harpist Benjin Musiq.

This album also features vocal performances by folk artist Angeline Morrison (creator of 'The Sorrow Songs: folk songs of black British experience') and Maria Heseltine, as well as Kelsey's daughter, May Robson (MAY). Acoustic bassist Ben Kypreos and percussionist Greg Dyer also contribute to this album's sound with rich harmony and a magically fresh sound.

Earlier, Kelsey Michael shared the feel-good 'Mounts Bay Morning' and the Jobim- and Morricone-influenced lead track 'Music Of The Waves', the video for which features the lush landscape that is so inspirational to her, with images of hedgerow, shore and moors thrown up to catch the light, along with a tumble of beautiful Cornish place names.

Named for the Isles of Scilly freight ship, folklore-filled sea ballad 'Gry Maritha' serenades this hardy blue boat in rhapsodic style - think Gerry and The Pacemaker’s 'Ferry across the Mersey 'in session with The Carpenters. Telling multiple stories, it touches on the folklore of the waters of the Scilly crossing whilst simultaneously uncovering hidden moments of a mother and child whose daily rhythms overlap with the ship’s departure and return.

'Tide Comes In / The Crossing' gets real about rural poverty in Penzance, still finding cause to celebrate the resilience, creativity and community support networks so often invisible to visitors. The inevitable ebb and flow of the tides gives certainty in troubled times when it can feel there is little to rely on.

This immersive music experience comes home to the wonder of small domestic moments in 'Washing Line', featuring exquisitely phrased guest vocals by Angeline Morrison. By hanging the stuff of our lives on the washing line, so to speak, we are able to gain perspective, let go of habitual obstacles and move on. In this final song, we are given musical headspace and a moment to pour some balm on modern life.

'Lethowsow' is out now on CD and vinyl via Dimple Discs, and is also available digitally via Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

UK electronic duo DRAGON WELDING shares 'Hiding Things For Fun', highlighting fourth album 'The Naughty Step'

March 30, 2025

UK electro noise-pop duo Dragon Welding has revealed a new video for their ruminative 'Hiding Things For Fun', a more downtempo offering from their fourth album 'The Naughty Step' (out now via Dimple Discs) and also happens to be the first record to feature new vocalist Nik Cockshott (formerly of leftfield indie rockers The Spores and The Keatons).

Dragon Welding is an anagram of Andrew Golding, perhaps best known as multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of Essex-based indie noise-pop legends The Wolfhounds. Initially joining Golding for a one-off show in 2023, Cockshott and Golding soon began working together on new material, resulting in the 2024 single 'These Are Dangerous Times', a radical electronic reworking of Dragon Welding's debut release five years prior, essentially marking Dragon Welding's rebirth as a group.

Dragon Welding also recently shared a captivating 'stop-start' animation video for the title track, created by award- winning graphic artist Andy Royston, who also designed the album's cover. They earlier released the high tempo single 'We Dance Among You', following the video for ‘Up And Away’, released as a 3-track single - a clarion call to a dozing generation.

"This song is on one level about losing ideals as we get older. I try not to 'make do' if I can see a way of sticking to the right path. On another level, losing things deliberately is something I am often accused of. The trick in life is to find a partner who is as good at finding things as you are at mislaying them.” He adds that it is also “a Gen X anthem that dreams of being played live to an auditorium full of ghosts, each holding aloft a misplaced cigarette lighter," says Andrew Golding.

"The lyrical theme of the album overall is me trying to deal with problems that I’ve never quite resolved in my mind, while all the time, new problems appear. It’s never ending and I will continue to write songs about it until I stop caring.

After debuting in 2019 with a well-received eclectic eponymous album, Dragon Welding released the all-instrumental 'Lights Behind The Eyes’ (2021) and then ‘Fictionary’ (2023), which featured guest appearances by Anthony Chapman of Collapsed Lung and Alice Golding of The Othyrs.

With a consistent voice, a solid focus on idiosyncratic and, at times, dark electronic backing, augmented by an increasing plethora of obtuse instrumentation, unpretentious ecologically and socially-relevant lyrics, this incarnation of Dragon Welding is ready to present their new material. The new album continues DW's tradition of blending clever guitar with mischievous sonic and rhythmic manipulations.

'The Naughty Step' album is out everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Musicand Bandcamp. Vinyl and CDs are also available from Rough Trade, Amazon and Resident Records.

Kelsey Michael presents stunning debut 'Lethowsow' album, combining classic pop & indie folk

February 5, 2025

British artist Kelsey Michael has released her debut solo album 'Lethowsow' via Peckham-based label Dimple Discs, channeling her love of such 60s-70s piano singer-songwriters as Laura Nyro and Carole King. This 7-track offering has a contemporary art-pop edge, showcasing dynamic vocals, uplifting feel-good ‘classic’ pop and hypnotic shruti-box folk drones.

With this album, Kelsey Michael's unique sound having garnered BBC 6 Music support from Radcliffe and Maconie, and also Gilles Peterson, in addition to rave reviews from an array of publications, with UNCUT's Rob Hughes dubbing this "Nyro-esque rapture" and "beguiling... infused with natural wonder".

UK electronic duo Dragon Welding shares 'We Dance Among You', an uptempo tale of planetary decline

January 31, 2025

UK electronic-synthpop duo Dragon Welding presents their latest single 'We Dance Among You', the second offering from their forthcoming album 'The Naughty Step', out February 28 via Dimple Discs.

Dragon Welding is an anagram of Andrew Golding, perhaps best known as co-founder and guitarist of Essex-based indie noise-pop legends The Wolfhounds. He shares, "The theme here is how climate change denial has elevated ignorance to ridiculous levels. ‘Drill Baby, Drill’. The next generations of people will look back at our generation in absolute horror. It’s about those hiding amongst us in plain sight. Profit over the planet every time with a complete disregard for the next generations...

We have failed to engage society
Leaving clues for the future to guess
Agendas built on real anxieties
Elvis left the building in a terrible mess

This insanity is perfectly captured in a dynamic 'stop-start' animation, created by award- winning graphic artist Andy Royston, who also designed the album's cover.

For this album, Golding is joined by vocalist Nik Cockshott (formerly of leftfield indie rockers The Spores and The Keatons). In late 2024, the duo shared the album's first single ‘Up And Away’, a clarion call to a dozing generation, released as a 3-track offering. Initially joining Golding for a one-off show in 2023, Cockshott and Golding soon began working together on new material, resulting in the 2024 single 'These Are Dangerous Times', a radical electronic reworking of Dragon Welding's debut release five years prior, essentially marking Dragon Welding's rebirth as a group.

After debuting in 2019 with a well-received eclectic eponymous album, Dragon Welding released the all-instrumental 'Lights Behind The Eyes’ (2021) and then ‘Fictionary’ (2023), which featured guest appearances by Anthony Chapman of Collapsed Lung and Alice Golding of The Othyrs.

With a consistent voice, a solid focus on idiosyncratic and, at times, dark electronic backing, augmented by an increasing plethora of obtuse instrumentation, unpretentious ecologically and socially-relevant lyrics, this incarnation of Dragon Welding is ready to present their new material. The new album continues DW's tradition of blending clever guitar with mischievous sonic and rhythmic manipulations.

“Dragon Welding is very much about following the noise and seeing where it goes. We never deliberately set out to create a particular sound but, for these songs, I was trying to ensure that my contributions on guitar were overlaid onto the sparsity of the sound. I deliberately left gaps in the canvas to fill out later once the music had dried," says Andrew Golding.

"It is an expansion of the Dragon Welding sound of the previous albums. Having Nik sing on all the tracks gave me an impetus to focus on the lyrics and music, letting him interpret them in his own way. It’s very much ‘80s electronica meets glam rock via paranoia.”

'We Dance Among You' is out now via Bandcamp. 'The Naughty Step' album, set for release on February 28, is now available for pre-order. Vinyl and CDs will be available from Rough Trade, Amazon and Resident Records.

On March 1, Dragon Welding's album launch show will take place at Betsey Trotwood in London, along with krautrock-folkrock outfit (and label-mates) The Othyrs.

From Stylophone to Stylish Indie-Pop: London's Mari Dangerfield releases 'Love And Other Machines' album

March 2, 2023

"Sonically pleasing, lyrically clever, easily accessible, largely danceable and totally relatable... Recalling the best of such artists as Lowell, Chvrches, Kate Nash, Saint Etienne and Dubstar" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"Instantly gripping that it draws you in completely, leaving its mark with no apologies... entire album is so artistically riveting, both technically and lyrically, that it takes you on the swells and waves of their journey" ~ Mobile Musician Magazine

“...truly catchy melodies and a stunning chorus (that is to die for) that will undoubtedly get stuck in your head” - American Pancake

“Definitely both melodic and somewhat quirky. It has an undeniable hook and a catchy synth melody” ~ Loudness

Rising London indie pop gem Mari Dangerfield has released her album 'Love And Other Machines', a collection of 12 catchy synth-driven alternative pop tunes, on CD via Dimple Discs. She also presents a series of fun buoyant videos, including for the uber-catchy 'Screen Time', driven by concern about technology and its effects, and the endearing and reverie-filled electro-ballad 'The Stars Were Wrong'.

Hailing from Ealing, West London, Mari Dangerfield is a multi-talented and colourful alternative / electronic pop artist, producer, writer and musician with a knack for fragile songs bursting with originality. Coining her sound "Quirkpop of the mind, body and laptop", her productions are characterised by rich vocal harmonies, catchy hooks and cinematic arrangements.

Broadly a concept album, 'Love And Other Machines' explores the connections between emotions and technology and is filled with love songs that use objects and gadgets as songwriting metaphors. Dangerfield made her first appearance on the music scene after winning a Mute Records video competition. In 2017, she also won a competition created by French composer Yann Tiersen, for which she covered his song ‘Porz Goret’, winning in the Best Non-Piano category.

Building on a string of self-released singles and videos since 2018, she has been able to build a devoted audience, both online and for her unique live shows. Already something of a polymath, she records, arranges and produces all her own material, as well as designing the visual content for artwork, new media and video. She’s also known for re-popularising the Stylophone, which features in her early singles and her live set.

Thematically, many of the songs are connected to technology (whether from exhaustion of its use or anguish from the way it highlights loneliness, dependency or one's psychological condition), with other songs about love and relationships. 'Love Machine' is the anchor that binds those themes tightly together, exploring how love can be a mechanical process (certainly on the biological and psychological side of things). 'Coping Mechanism', 'Virtually', 'Screen Time' and 'Webcam' continue this exploration.

“This album is so much more than just a collection of songs to me – It’s a sort of record of the first few years of my career, and an even longer period of my life. It reveals so much about me, personally and professionally. It feels like my artist's palette has been formed. If you really listen to these songs, you can get to know me on quite a deep level. There’s a lot of my reality embedded within the concept and the stories. I would have been lost without making music. It saved my mental wellbeing,” says Mari Dangerfield.

This album is as diverse in sound as it feels in how it’s travelled with me as I’ve developed as an individual over the past three years: No song sounds the same and, as I’m sure you’ll agree, it feels like I’m in a very different place at the end from where I was when it began. Undeniably, some of the songs delve into some quite personal struggles of mine and were inspired by my time in therapy between 2015 and 2018, as I came out of some incredibly dark places. I was so lucky to have been gifted all this time to learn about myself and my inner wounds, and not only improve as a person, but to be left with the tools to continue to reflect on my struggles, as undoubtedly, they would and do return in different guises."

'Love And Other Machines' is out now, available both on CD and digitally. It can be ordered via Bandcamp or elsewhere from all fine online music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify.

Telefis releases superb dance-clash 'Archbishop Beardmouth At The ChemOlympics' EP

April 1, 2022

"One of the most potent listens my ears have heard for some time” - Electronic Sound

"Telefís is a sort of electronic fever dream equally inspired by early Kraftwerk and surrealist documentarian Adam Curtis. And, as the best conceptual albums do, a hAon envelopes the listener in its own, self-imagined reality” - Irish Examiner

"Dense, acerbically observed lyrics are delivered in Coughlan’s distinctive baritone over Lee’s backdrops, from sparsely atmospheric synths to bass-driven electro-funk" - The Irish Times

"An enthralling, entertaining union of skillful retro-electro and cuttingly cynical, mischievous surreal declarations” - MOJO

"As stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem... big sound and vision" ~ The Spill Magazine

The final salvo from the recently released and much applauded Telefís album ‘a hAon’ is the 'Archbishop Beardmouth At The ChemOlympics' EP, which finds band members Garret 'Jacknife' Lee (U2, REM, Modest Mouse, The Wombats) and Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions) collaborating with revered electro-pop pioneer Thomas Leer, in addition to creating different versions of four key album tracks.

Telefís (Irish Gaelic for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh) is a collaboration between these two Irish iconoclasts. With Jacknife in LA and Cathal in London, the two spent 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and pop culture in their lifetimes, which they've dubbed ”a corrosive nostalgia”. The resultant album 'a hAon' (number one), released by Dimple Discs on March 4, 2022.

A radio edit of the album’s dancefloor banger 'Archbishop Beardmouth' and Thomas Leer's superb remix are accompanied by three new versions of 'Picadors', 'Ballytransnational' and 'There Goes Waterface', created by Jacknife Lee with spoken word appearances by family and friends. These meditative and reflective re-interpretations of the album versions frame Cathal’s lyrics in the voices of an older Irish generation, imbuing the words with a fresh sense of poetry and melancholy.

'The only piece of music discussed during the first call with Cathal in 2020 was “Private Plane” by Thomas Leer. It was a pivotal record for both of us. It changed us when we heard it first and reunited us when the idea of Telefís emerged. Thomas Leer! Thomas Fucking Leer! My fantasy has come true," says Jacknife Lee.

On the theme of the song Cathal Coughlan offers this vignette…"Archbishop Beardmouth visits the ChemOlympics, in his full Byzantine-Slavic magnificence, the giant torso-curtain of hair announcing him. He is very gratified by what he sees. Gone are the mandatory drugs tests and geopolitical skirmishes of yore, and instead, has come immaculate, chemically-enhanced performance. There's only the occasional moment when the live camera feed has to be cut, in order to enable the re-reading of the script, and perhaps the replacement of a competitor. At these times, His Eminence loses interest in the spectacle, and becomes aware of the obsequious ravings of a young man seated below him, who points at a laptop screen full of animated bodies - devised, the young man says, by a special form of artificial intelligence. The youth tries to interest the prelate in buying into the "cryptocurrency" which will fund the growth of this technology, which is named "COPD-coin". The young man explains that he named it this way because it represents a shock to the international order. His Eminence appears irked by this, and begins to grill the young man, "You wish to destabilise your own Motherland in this way? And you dare to approach the Lord God's representative with this treason?” "No, no, Eminence", the young man remonstrates, "It shall be prevented from trading in the Motherland. Only in the sinful and subhuman parts of the world will it be allowed to operate. Because those people are stupid, and decadent." The Archbishop raises an eyebrow and leans forward. "Well then, how much money do you need to raise from this scheme?” Later, at the big reception for the dignitaries, there are home movie screenings. On the screen, we see vintage images of Ireland's famed one-time Orthodox Jansenist Papal ruler, Archbishop John Charles McQuaid (sometimes depicted in the company of his earthly proxy, Éamon de Valera). He parades through a life of saintly self-love (since unfairly besmirched by individuals unfit to have breathed the same air as His Lordship) - from long-con shrine, to concrete basilica, to institution of pious incarceration. It could be said that we shall not see his like again - but let's give it a go. Viva crypto!"

The 'Archbishop Beardmouth At The ChemOlympics' EP is out now digitally. Apart from such platforms as Spotify and Apple Music, it can be ordered directly from the artist via Bandcamp.

Irish electronic duo Telefis (Cathal Coughlan & Jacknife Lee) release debut 'a hAon' album

March 6, 2022

"There’s something about the meeting of Jacknife Lee’s carefully constructed musical arrangements with Cathal Coughlan’s sonorous vocals that makes for one of the most potent listens my ears have heard for some time” - Electronic Sound

"Dense, acerbically observed lyrics are delivered in Coughlan’s distinctive baritone over Lee’s backdrops, from sparsely atmospheric synths to bass-driven electro-funk" - The Irish Times

“…an enthralling, entertaining union of skillful retro-electro and cuttingly cynical, mischievous surreal declarations” - MOJO

“Telefís blend cultural celebration, satire, the splintered identity of the Irish diaspora, and historical introspection to – what else? Electronic dance music!” - Post-Punk

"As stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem... big sound and vision" ~ The Spill Magazine

Electronic mavericks and ex-pat Irish iconoclasts Telefís have released their debut album 'a hAon' (Number One), a highly unique collection of 13 tracks, via Dimple Discs.

Telefís (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh) is a collaboration between in-demand composer/mixer/producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors) and singer-lyricist-composer Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions and many acclaimed solo works). Having known each other vaguely in Ireland's early 80s post-punk scene, Jacknife is now based in L.A. and Cathal, a native of Cork, lives in London. A timely re-introduction by a mutual friend led to the two spending 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and the pop culture of their lifetimes, which the two have labelled .."a corrosive nostalgia".

A series of remarkable singles and remixes, starting with the electro-funk monster 'We Need' EP in mid-2021 and followed by 'Mister Imperator', see Coughlan and Lee de-construct the Ireland of their youth through the prism of politics, technology and religion. Complemented by arcane imagery and 60s/70s video footage that are both playfully ironic and endearingly melancholic, these singles have set the table for one of year’s most intriguing and adventurous debut albums.

This album follows the release of their 'Falun Gong Dancer EP' with legendary post-punk bass maestro Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited, Invaders Of The Heart), in which Jacknife Lee transforms a disarmingly quiet and reflective song with vocals and ghostly piano chords into a deep-dub odyssey with Wobble’s signature low-end bass runs anchoring crisp percussion and panoramic space-echo effects.

On their work together as Telefís, Cathal Coughlan observes, "Collaborating in this way with a dynamic and consummate artist, who has access to a wide range of skills which I don't have, but with whom I share many common interests and cultural/historical reference points, has been one of the highlights of my creative life. It's made me so glad that I've been able to remain active for long enough to see something like this happen. Easily as spontaneous and full of surprises as any in-person collaboration, it’s shaken loose many weird and hopefully wonderful things in my verbal workshop. And nobody has heard me use my voice in some of these ways before now, either."

Jacknife Lee adds: "I'd just finished mangling a Luke Haines and Peter Buck record. Luke knows Cathal and re-introduced us. On the first or second correspondence we thought we should make some music together. Music is probably the only way I can properly communicate with someone. I sent Cathal the backing track that would become "We Need" and he sent me back the vocal and we went back and forth from there. Lockdowns and travel restrictions forced us to work remotely, and I think helped us get to where we got so quickly. Cathal is without doubt one of the finest lyricists of our time and writes like no one else. Some of the vocals he sent over made me burst out laughing with giddiness and delight at the novelty of them. Mischievous, dark, arcane, crispy fresh, and always unexpected. Every song with a backstory that could be a novel. This is easily the most enjoyable and rewarding music that I've been involved with.”

Part celebration, part satire, Telefís is an exploration of nostalgia as experienced in the present day, by natives of what was formerly a culturally sealed-off small country on the very fringes of Europe. It also points a critical finger at today’s global hierarchies, an inspiration for the strange characters and caricatures that spring from Coughlan's fertile imagination. Stark forms of imagery, bizarre to the modern eye and ear but treated as routine in the pre-globalization world, are pushed at the listener and viewer. On the musical side, Jacknife Lee uses his extensive sonic palette to create an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and thunderous bass-lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history.

As of March 4, the 'a hAon' album will be available on CD and Vinyl, both with two-sided lyric sheet insert, as well as across digital platforms. Physical orders are available at https://ffm.to/telefisahaon and the digital album can be ordered at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon. U.S. orders can be placed at http://ffm.to/telefisusa.

Irish electronic duo Telefis (Cathal Coughlan & Jacknife Lee) preview 'Ballytransnational' ahead of releasing debut 'a hAon' LP.

February 24, 2022

Two of Ireland’s most celebrated musicians take a conceptual electro-funk joyride through the past into the future.

Following the release of the 'Falun Gong Dancer EP' with legendary post-punk bass maestro Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited, Invaders Of The Heart), electronic duo Telefís are gearing up for their debut album 'a hAon' (Number One), a highly unique collection of 13 tracks that will be released by Dimple Discs on March 4. Ahead of this, they present the track 'Ballytransnational'.

Telefís (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh) is a collaboration between two acclaimed ex-pat Irish iconoclasts, in-demand composer/mixer/producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors) and singer-lyricist-composer Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions and many acclaimed solo works). Having known each other vaguely in Ireland's early 80s post-punk scene, Jacknife is now based in L.A. and Cathal, a native of Cork, lives in London. A timely re-introduction by a mutual friend led to the two spending 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and the pop culture of their lifetimes, which the two have labelled .."a corrosive nostalgia".

Cathal Coughlan comments on 'Ballytransnational': "A gaunt wooden rollercoaster overlooks the flatlands leading to a land border which, for many years until now, used to count for nothing. It used to be the topic of rueful recollections from decades past, but the received wisdom was that the bad old days were over, and seamless moving of fluid identities and capital now ruled the day. Public health concerns and political ferment have now given way to protectionism of many kinds. As the generation who understood the damage caused by that border passes away, the border's time has come again. And it says: you're never going back.'

A series of remarkable singles and remixes, starting with the electro-funk monster 'We Need' EP in mid-2021 and followed by 'Mister Imperator', see Coughlan and Lee de-construct the Ireland of their youth through the prism of politics, technology and religion. Complemented by arcane imagery and 60s/70s video footage that are both playfully ironic and endearingly melancholic, these singles have set the table for one of year’s most intriguing and adventurous debut albums.

"Collaborating in this way, with a dynamic and consummate artist, who has access to a wide range of skills which I don't have, but with whom I share many common interests and cultural/historical reference points, has been one of the highlights of my creative life.

Keeley 'Brave Warrior' EP gets 10" vinyl release on the trail of 'Echo Everywhere' EP

February 16, 2022

NOTABLE FEEDBACK
"Arranged around a mesmerizing movement of drifting guitars and fuzzy vocals" ~ American Songwriter (Nashville)

"Incredibly talented and unique... Keeley is certainly a refreshing discovery" ~ Big Takeover Magazine (New York)

"Fantastic... bold and unique approach to music... timeless sound" ~ Spill Magazine (Toronto)

"Takes all the best parts of British music in the 1990’s and grants it a second breath in the New Twenties" ~ Moths and Giraffes (London)

"A thrilling headrush... a band whose intrigue grows the more you discover about them” ~ Even The Stars (Manchester)

"As much of a blast from the past as it is poised to anchor many of this summer’s playlists" ~ Global Texan Chronicles (Germany)

"Dreamy and psychedelic... always pensive, always with a mission" ~ Amplify Music Magazine (Toronto)

Following the overwhelmingly positive global reception to Keeley’s debut 'Brave Warrior' EP, London-based Dimple Discs will release the 4-song set on 10” vinyl via Shellshock Distribution on February 25. Limited to 500 copies, the EP features artwork by award-winning designer Bruce Brand at Arthole (The Darkness, White Stripes).

Due to the success of the debut and subsequent EP 'Echo Everywhere' in 2021, these rising stars enjoyed a brilliant year, picking up plays across Irish radio and taking the British mainland by storm with spins on BBC 6Music’s Steve Lamacq, BBC 6Music's Radcliffe & Maconie, BBC Radio Ulster, BBC Radio Cymru, as well as SiriusXM and College Radio in the USA, reaching the #1 spot on the Radio Indie Alliance chart with plays on hundreds of radio stations in several dozen countries around the world.

Chosen among Hot Press' 'Hot for 2022' Irish artists, Keeley has upped the ante by presenting a judicious remix of 'The Glitter And The Glue' by revered producer Paul Tipler (Stereolab, Elastica, Idlewild, Placebo, Julian Cope, House Of Love), making it even more memorable than the original. The three new tracks illustrate the care and songcraft that Keeley and producer Alan Maguire bring to their productions with layers of shimmering guitars, soaring vocal harmonies, subtle keyboard motifs and driving rhythms. These unforgettable tracks are inspired by and dedicated to Inga-Maria Hauser, the murdered German backpacker that Keeley has steadfastly memorialised in song and spirit for the past five years. Read 'The Keeley Chronicles' for more info.

On the live front, the band has taken full form with Keeley on guitar and vocals, Martin Fagan on bass, Marty Canavan on keyboards, and acclaimed Dublin drummer Tim O’Donovan recently joining their ranks. Following sold-out shows at Whelan’s in Dublin in October and The Lexington in London in December, Keeley play their second headline gig in Dublin on Thursday, April 28 at The Grand Social.

Dimple Discs is a London label with deep Irish music connections. Founded in 2018 by The Undertones' Damian O'Neill and former Stereolab publicist Brian O'Neill, it has grown to encompass such artists as Cathal Coughlan (The Fatima Mansions, Microdisney), The Undertones, Telefis (Jacknife Lee & Cathal Coughlan), Eileen Gogan, Kev Hopper, Dragon Welding, Nick Haeffner, Baby Shakes, Ger Eaton, Daniel Figgis and SACK.

As of February 25, 'Brave Warrior' will be available on vinyl and CD. Already now, both of her EPs can be found across online stores and streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

Telefis and Jah Wobble release 'Falun Gong Dancer' EP and new video. Debut Telefis album 'a hAon' is out March 4

January 24, 2022

"A shimmering piece of pop. Laced in hypnotic energy" ~ Far Out Magazine

"Ultra trippy" ~ Dangerous Minds

“Blends cultural celebration, satire, the splintered identity of the Irish diaspora and historical introspection to electronic dance music” – PostPunk.com

"This is actually a dancepop monster, channelling ‘Stop Making Sense’-era Talking Heads with acute contemporary social commentary" ~ Is This Music?

"As stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem... watch them take the world by storm with this big sound and vision" ~ The Spill Magazine

Electronic duo Telefís - made up of acclaimed Irish iconoclasts Jacknife Lee and Cathal Coughlan - are releasing the 'Falun Gong Dancer EP' with legendary post-punk bass maestro Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited, Invaders Of The Heart)via London's Dimple Discs. They also present a new video for 'Falun Gong Dancer (Donkey's Gudge Dub)'.

Based on the third single from the forthcoming debut album 'a hAon' (Number One)by Telefís (Irish Gaelic for TV, pronounced Tele-feesh), this follows the earlier-released 'Mister Imperator' EP and 'We Need' EP.

As Telefís, LA-based producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors) and Cathal Coughlan(Microdisney, Fatima Mansions and acclaimed solo artist), now based in London, present a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and pop culture in their lifetimes, which they call ”a corrosive nostalgia”.

The involvement of Jah Wobble, one of the most innovative bass players of our time, transforms the disarmingly quiet and reflective original version, with its stark vocals and ghostly piano chords, into a deep-dub odyssey. His signature low-end bass anchors crisp percussion and panoramic space-echo effects.

"An honour to be involved in this, to be working with Telefis. This seemingly simple, sweet naive video speaks volumes. The ancestral trek; Rural Ireland to the dancehalls, Pubs and crowded rented rooms of tough uncompromising London. All captured in a Dub Prism," says Jah Wobble.

"Even a relatively obscure musical life such as mine can fortunately bring pinch-yourself moments of proximity to greatness, and so it is with Jah Wobble's transformative contribution to this version of 'Falun Gong Dancer'. The song was already a high-point of the first Telefís album, but in this version it goes somewhere else entirely, thanks to JW's signature contribution," says Cathal Coughlan.

Jacknife Lee elucidates: "There are few bass players as iconic as Jah Wobble. I have studied and tried to copy his style for decades but never really got close. Brian from Dimple Discs suggested we ask him to get on 'Falun Gong Dancer', but I didn’t believe it would happen. We are still shocked that he agreed to collaborate with us and are excited for it to be heard”.

In Telefís, Jacknife Lee creates an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and thunderous bass-lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history. Jacknife is also known for his remixes for such heavy hitters as Radiohead, U2, Blur, Run-DMC, Pink, Future Sound of London, Christina Aguilera, TLC, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, The Raveonettes, Kraftwerk, New Order and Kasabian.

The 'Falun Gong Dancer EP' is out on January 21 and can be ordered digitally. The 'a hAon' album will be released on March 4 with CD and vinyl available for pre-order at https://ffm.to/telefisahaon and the digital album at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon.

Cathal Coughlan (The Fatima Mansions, Microdisney) releases ’Song Of Co-Aklan’ LP. Watch the 'Unrealtime' video by Locky Morris

January 9, 2022

“The lyrics are uniformly excellent…Coughlan reminds you again and again just how good he is” ~ The Irish Times

"A brilliant opus... perhaps his best record to date" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Each slice of spiky post-punk/pop is every bit as intriguing as his witty and acerbic lyrics” ~ Sunday Times

"Coughlan’s sixth solo album is a real gem” ~ Hot Press

"Definitively affirms Coughlan's place amid Ireland's poetic pantheon” ~ MOJO (4 stars)

"Song Of Co-Aklan is a more than welcome return from a puckish master of social observation and surreal manifesto” ~ The Wire

“…shows off a rich, Scott Walker-ish voice that’s aging superbly…a welcome return”~ Uncut

Cathal Coughlan, one of Ireland’s most revered and iconic songwriters, has released his acclaimed 'Song of Co-Aklan' LP, his first new music in ten years and sixth album to date. He also presents 'Unrealtime' with an accompanying video created by Locky Morris, an Irish contemporary artist and musician from Derry, Northern Ireland.

Best known as co-founder and vocalist for seminal 80s/90s bands Microdisney and The Fatima Mansions, Coughlan has been described as "the most underrated lyricist in pop today" by The Guardian newspaper. DJ John Peel was also such a fan that he stated he could "listen to Cathal Coughlan sing the phone book".

'Unrealtime' is steeped in Coughlan's Irish past and the landscape that informed it. The album’s closer, it features a guest appearance from his former Microdisney bandmate Sean O'Hagan (also High Llamas, Stereolab) and acclaimed Dublin singer-songwriter Eileen Gogan, who previously appeared with the band on their final reunion shows in 2018.

”Unrealtime, as a song, muses back and forth on what it is to be an exile, revisiting one’s land of birth as not alone a stranger, but possibly as an observer from another dimension. And then, it begins looking on the extent of a person’s whole life from those unrelenting perspectives," says Cathal Coughlan.

"Some of my most dicey chord changes are subordinated to the simple hypnosis of a frame drum and Sean O’Hagan’s flat-wound “West German” bass guitar. The periodic crescendos of realisation are heralded by Nick Allum’s restrained brush drums and a growing plenitude of voices – my own, and those of Eileen Gogan and Sean, each probing in their own way for a reprieve from the certainties of the terse prescriptions heard in the verses. It’s more than fitting that the visuals seen here should have originated in another part of that island, in the masterful minimalism of Locky Morris."

The album also features Luke Haines (The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder),Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti), Andrías Ó Grúama (Fatima Mansions), Cory Gray (The Delines) on wurlitzer piano and Coughlan's long-time collaborators from the Grand Necropolitan Quartet - namely Nick Allum (The Fatima Mansions, The Apartments), James Woodrow and Audrey Riley (notable collaborator of Lush, The Sundays, The Smiths, Nick Cave, The Cure and Coldplay).

This album represents the first time that Microdisney/High Llamas bassist Jonathan Fell unites with Nick Allum and Coughlan since the Fatima Mansions 'Against Nature' LP in 1989. Microdisney/ High Llamas alumnus John Bennett also makes an appearance.

Video director Locky Morris notes, "I try to stick to a practice of staring at things and letting myself go. The footage in the film for Unrealtime was shot on an intertidal mudflat, on the edges of a large shallow sea lough on the north coast of Ireland, close to home. Seldom can I get the idea though of the huge capped city dump lying nearby out of my mind. The weather wasn’t good, that black pipe was under the arm one minute and caught by the wind the next. Who knew that this chance happening would be used to accompany this beauty of a song by Cathal Coughlan. ‘...post glacial marine transgression...’ I pulled that line from a geological description of the area. Jesus, that could almost be one of Cathal’s arresting lyrics’.

After a 10-year hiatus as a solo artist, Cathal Coughlan’s ’Song Of Co-Aklan’ album has been widely heralded as one of his finest, drawing unprecedented national media attention in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, France, Switzerland and beyond. The singles ‘Song of Co-Aklan', 'The Knockout Artist', 'Owl In The Parlour' and 'Falling Out North Street' show the album’s diversity in tempo and sonic arrangement, corralled by Coughlan's brooding baritone, caustic wit and irresistible choruses.

The 'Song of Co-Aklan' LP is now available across online platforms, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as well as physically. It can be ordered at https://ffm.to/ songofcoaklanalbum.

The periodic crescendos of realisation are heralded by Nick Allum’s restrained brush drums and a growing plenitude of voices – my own, and those of Eileen Gogan and Sean, each probing in their own way for a reprieve from the certainties of the terse prescriptions heard in the verses. It’s more than fitting that the visuals seen here should have originated in another part of that island, in the masterful minimalism of Locky Morris."

The album also features Luke Haines (The Auteurs, Black Box Recorder),Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti), Andrías Ó Grúama (Fatima Mansions), Cory Gray (The Delines) on wurlitzer piano and Coughlan's long-time collaborators from the Grand Necropolitan Quartet - namely Nick Allum (The Fatima Mansions, The Apartments), James Woodrow and Audrey Riley (notable collaborator of Lush, The Sundays, The Smiths, Nick Cave, The Cure and Coldplay).

This album represents the first time that Microdisney/High Llamas bassist Jonathan Fell unites with Nick Allum and Coughlan since the Fatima Mansions 'Against Nature' LP in 1989. Microdisney/ High Llamas alumnus John Bennett also makes an appearance.

Video director Locky Morris notes, "I try to stick to a practice of staring at things and letting myself go. The footage in the film for Unrealtime was shot on an intertidal mudflat, on the edges of a large shallow sea lough on the north coast of Ireland, close to home. Seldom can I get the idea though of the huge capped city dump lying nearby out of my mind. The weather wasn’t good, that black pipe was under the arm one minute and caught by the wind the next. Who knew that this chance happening would be used to accompany this beauty of a song by Cathal Coughlan. ‘...post glacial marine transgression...’ I pulled that line from a geological description of the area. Jesus, that could almost be one of Cathal’s arresting lyrics’.

After a 10-year hiatus as a solo artist, Cathal Coughlan’s ’Song Of Co-Aklan’ album has been widely heralded as one of his finest, drawing unprecedented national media attention in the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, France, Switzerland and beyond. The singles ‘Song of Co-Aklan', 'The Knockout Artist', 'Owl In The Parlour' and 'Falling Out North Street' show the album’s diversity in tempo and sonic arrangement, corralled by Coughlan's brooding baritone, caustic wit and irresistible choruses.

The 'Song of Co-Aklan' LP is now available across online platforms, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as well as physically. It can be ordered at https://ffm.to/ songofcoaklanalbum.

Jah Wobble teams up with Telefís (REM/ U2 producer Jacknife Lee & Microdisney frontman Cathal Coughlan) on 'Falun Gong Dancer'

January 9, 2022

"A shimmering piece of pop. Laced in hypnotic energy, the song is steeped in Irish history" ~ Far Out Magazine

“Blends cultural celebration, satire, the splintered identity of the Irish diaspora and historical introspection to electronic dance music” – PostPunk.com

"This is actually a dancepop monster, channelling ‘Stop Making Sense’-era Talking Heads with acute contemporary social commentary" ~ Is This Music?

"As stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem... watch them take the world by storm with this big sound and vision" ~ The Spill Magazine

The third single from the debut Telefís album 'a hAon' sees members Jacknife Lee and Cathal Coughlan collaborate with legendary post-punk bass maestro Jah Wobble (Public Image Limited, Invaders Of The Heart).

Telefís (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh) unites two acclaimed Irish iconoclasts - producer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors) and Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions and acclaimed solo artist).

With Jacknife now based in LA and Cathal based in London, the two traded ideas and music files over lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and pop culture in their lifetimes, which they label ..”a corrosive nostalgia”. The result is their debut 'a hAon' (Number One) album.

One of the most innovative bass players of his generation, here Jah Wobble transforms the disarmingly quiet and reflective original version, with its stark vocals and ghostly piano chords, into a deep-dub odyssey, his signature low-end bass runs anchoring crisp percussion and panoramic space-echo effects.

"Even a relatively obscure musical life such as mine can fortunately bring pinch-yourself moments of proximity to greatness, and so it is with Jah Wobble's transformative contribution to this version of 'Falun Gong Dancer'. The song was already a high-point of the first Telefís album, but in this version it goes somewhere else entirely, thanks to JW's signature contribution," says Cathal Coughlan.

Jacknife Lee elucidates: "There are few bass players as iconic as Jah Wobble. I have studied and tried to copy his style for decades but never really got close. Brian from Dimple Discs suggested we ask him to get on 'Falun Gong Dancer', but I didn’t believe it would happen. We are still shocked that he agreed to collaborate with us and are excited for it to be heard”

Jacknife Lee uses his extensive sonic palette to create an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and thunderous bass-lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history. He has also created remixes for Radiohead, U2, Blur, Run-DMC, Pink, Future Sound of London, Christina Aguilera, TLC, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, The Raveonettes, Kraftwerk, New Order and Kasabian.

Earlier, the duo released the original version of this song with its stark arrangement and stellar video by Matt Mahurin (Peter Gabriel, Tom Waits, U2, Sting, David Byrne, Joni Mitchell), who, as well as the following up the 'Mister Imperator' EPand 'We Need' EP.

As of December 7, the Jah Wobble mix of 'Falun Gong Dancer' can be obtained on Bandcamp and elsewhere digitally at https://orcd.co/telefisfalungongdancer. The 'a hAon' album will be released by London's Dimple Discs on February 11. CD and vinyl are available for pre-order at https://ffm.to/telefisahaon and the digital album at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon.

Telefís (Jacknife Lee & Cathal Coughlan) present 'Falun Gong Dancer' single with video by Matt Mahurin (Peter Gabriel, U2, Tom Waits, REM, Tracy Chapman, Sting)

December 2, 2021

“Irish sensations Telefís, aka Cathal Coughlan and Jacknife Lee, blend cultural celebration, satire, the splintered identity of the Irish diaspora, and historical introspection to – what else? Electronic dance music!” – PostPunk.com

"This is actually a dancepop monster, channelling ‘Stop Making Sense’-era Talking Heads with acute contemporary social commentary" ~ Is This Music?

"The first offerings from these Irish music legends sounds as stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, to draw just two parallels. This project may be rooted in the insular cultural experience of a small country, but just watch them take the world by storm with this big sound and vision here and now" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Garret “Jacknife” Lee – the man who left punk guitar behind for the delights of big breaks like “Bursting Off The Backbeat” before finding his métier as an in-demand producer for U2, The Killers, Modest Mouse and more. He’s on record as saying that if he doesn’t make noise, he gets very grumpy; what mischief can the two of them be cooking up?” ~ Backseat Mafia

Producer/ mixer/ composer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Cars, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors, Taylor Swift) and singer-songwriter Cathal Coughlan, frontman of Microdisney and The Fatima Mansions and acclaimed for his many solo works (including his latest solo album 'Song Of Co-Aklan’) present 'Falun Gong Dancer' - their new single under the moniker Telefís (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh).

"Falun Gong Dancer' is the latest taste of their debut album 'a hAon' (Number One), which will be released on February 11 via London-based Dimple Discs, following up the 'Mister Imperator' EP, which includes the original version, the 'Mister Imperator (Dub Mix)' and two other remixes.

In contrast with the first two Telefís releases, 'Falun Gong Dancer' is a very stark arrangement, featuring a cyclical, meditative melody over dissolving piano chords and synth pulses, heard in episodic passages which take the listener on a tour of the world - from London, to the US-Mexico border, to the cities of Australasia - in the company of a hapless narrator. Occasional interludes of electronic harmony hint at either a tentative intimacy, or at an isolation which is final and absolute - it remains ambiguous.

"Each episode describes a further incident in his romantic pursuit of the dancer of the song's title, as he (over-?)identifies with her perceived struggles, and hopes to find common cause with her - for his own depleted condition to become their common cause, perhaps. Implicit is the narrator's ticking internal clock, which must surely count down to zero before long. Time is out of joint, and the narrator has been repelled by or expelled from his natural habitat, although we do not learn where his home is or was," says Cathal Coughlan.

The accompanying video was created by American illustrator, photographer, and film director Matt Mahurin (Peter Gabriel, U2, Tom Waits, REM, Tracy Chapman, Sting, Bonnie Raitt, Ice-T, Metallica, David Byrne, Joni Mitchell), who notes, "Just as a unique and powerful piece of music can transport the listener to new and thrilling emotional territory, to be given the opportunity to create the visuals for such a special song left me no choice but to discover images and inspiration that were unexpected yet timeless. The daring expanses of silence, yearning vocals, and compelling lyrics gave me the gift of exploring the essential of the earthly and the curiosity of the cosmic. It's an honor and joy to be trusted by Jacknife and Cathal to help them share their amazing music."

With Jacknife now based in Los Angeles and Cathal based in London, the two spent 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and the pop culture of their lifetimes, what the two have labelled "a corrosive nostalgia".

On the musical side, Jacknife Lee uses his extensive sonic palette to create an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and thunderous bass-lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history. He has also created remixes for such artists as Radiohead, U2, Blur, Run-DMC, Pink, Future Sound of London, Christina Aguilera, TLC, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, The Raveonettes, Kraftwerk, New Order and Kasabian.

He explains: "Silence can cause tension. Even when recording the song, the pausing became both comforting and frustrating. When I listen to the song now I can’t help but try to alter time, trying to force the next line to come sooner, willing it earlier, but it doesn’t and won’t arrive when I expect it. It always comes a little bit late. I'm active in the space. When the line does come it’s soothing and beautiful but the lyric is complex and doesn’t resolve anything. And then the silence again. Is the song long? Is it short? It confuses my already recently disturbed perception of time."

The forthcoming 'a hAon' album includes 13 highly unique tracks - part celebration and part satire - in which Telefís explores nostalgia, as experienced in the present day, by natives of what was formerly a culturally sealed-off small country on Europe's very fringe. It also points a critical finger at today’s global hierarchies, an inspiration for the strange characters and caricatures that spring from Coughlan's fertile imagination. Stark forms of imagery, bizarre to the modern eye and ear but treated as routine in the pre-globalization world, are pushed at the listener and viewer.

On December 3, 'Falun Gong Dancer' will be available digitally across online stores and streaming platforms at https://orcd.co/telefisfalungongdancer. The 'a hAon' LP will be released on February 11 on CD and vinyl (both with a two-sided lyric sheet insert). Physical pre-orders are now available at https://ffm.to/telefisahaon and the digital release at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon.

Telefís (Cathal Coughlan and Jacknife Lee) announce 'a hAon' LP, share 'Mister Imperator (Dub Mix)'

November 1, 2021

"This is actually a dancepop monster, channelling ‘Stop Making Sense’-era Talking Heads with acute contemporary social commentary" ~ Is This Music?

"The first offerings from these Irish music legends sounds as stunning as the best of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, to draw just two parallels.

"...full of percussive synth-driven rhythms and vocals" ~ Hot Press

London-based Dimple Discs has announced they will release the debut album from Telefís (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh), a collaboration between two acclaimed Irish iconoclasts, producer/ mixer/ composer Garret "Jacknife" Lee (U2, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Cars, The Killers, Snow Patrol, Crystal Castles, Editors, Taylor Swift) and singer-songwriter Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, The Fatima Mansions and many acclaimed solo works) on February 11. Ahead of that, they present 'Mister Imperator (Dub Mix)', an invigorated and deliciously twisted new take on the duo's recently-released 'Mister Imperator' single.

Titled 'a hAon' (Number One), this is a highly unique 13-track album that is part celebration, part satire, in which Telefís explores nostalgia, as experienced in the present day, by natives of what was formerly a culturally sealed-off small country on the very fringes of Europe. It also points a critical finger at today’s global hierarchies, an inspiration for the strange characters and caricatures that spring from Coughlan's fertile imagination. Stark forms of imagery, bizarre to the modern eye and ear but treated as routine in the pre-globalization world, are pushed at the listener and viewer.

The second single from the album, 'Mister Imperator' is a deliciously retro-electro affair that loosely recounts the tale of a beloved pianist, who was a light entertainment staple of early TV fare dating back to the first broadcasts in The Irish Republic in 1961.

With Jacknife now based in Los Angeles and Cathal based in London, the two spent 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and the pop culture of their lifetimes, what the two have labelled "a corrosive nostalgia".

"I'd just finished mangling a Luke Haines and Peter Buck record. Luke knows Cathal and re-introduced us. On the first or second correspondence we thought we should make some music together. Music is probably the only way I can properly communicate with someone. I sent Cathal the backing track that would become 'We Need' and he sent me back the vocal and we went back and forth from there. Lockdowns and travel restrictions forced us to work remotely, and I think helped us get to where we got so quickly," says Jacknife Lee.

"Cathal is, without doubt, one of the finest lyricists of our time and writes like no one else. Some of the vocals he sent over made me burst out laughing with giddiness and delight at the novelty of them. Mischievous, dark, arcane, crispy fresh, and always unexpected. Every song with a backstory that could be a novel. This is easily the most enjoyable and rewarding music that I've been involved with".

Indeed, evidence of Coughlan’s lyrical ingenuity and artistry was on full display earlier this year when he returned after a 10-year absence with a highly acclaimed solo album 'Song Of Co-Aklan’.

On the musical side, Jacknife Lee uses his extensive sonic palette to create an irresistible mix of cinematic instrumentals and electro-funk backdrops full of melodic, squelchy synths and thunderous bass-lines, often with a cheeky nod to electro-pop history. He has also created remixes for such artists as Radiohead, U2, Blur, Run-DMC, Pink, Future Sound of London, Christina Aguilera, TLC, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Eminem, The Raveonettes, Kraftwerk, New Order and Kasabian.

Cathal observes, "Collaborating in this way, with a dynamic and consummate artist, who has access to a wide range of skills that I don't have, but with whom I share many common interests and cultural/historical reference points, has been one of the highlights of my creative life. It's made me so glad that I've been able to remain active for long enough to see something like this happen. Easily as spontaneous and full of surprises as any in-person collaboration, it’s shaken loose many weird and hopefully wonderful things in my verbal workshop. And nobody has heard me use my voice in some of these ways before now, either".

As of November 5, 'Mister Imperator (Dub Mix)' will be available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. On February 11, the 'a hAon' LP will be released on CD and vinyl (both with a two-sided lyric sheet insert) and can be pre-ordered at https://ffm.to/telefisahaon. It will also be released on all digital platforms, available at https://orcd.co/telefisahaon.

Psychedelic indie artist KEELEY shares 'Never Here Always There’ live in Dublin

September 12, 2021

"Arranged around a mesmerizing movement of drifting guitars and fuzzy vocals" ~ American Songwriter (Nashville)

"Incredibly talented and unique... in a universe of less brilliant stars. Keeley is certainly a refreshing discovery" ~ Big Takeover Magazine (New York)

"Fantastic... bold and unique approach to music of our new favourite Irish band... bridging the decades in this timeless sound" ~ Spill Magazine (Toronto)

"Takes all the best parts of British music in the 1990’s and grants it a second breath in the New Twenties" ~ Moths and Giraffes (London)

"A thrilling headrush... a band whose intrigue grows the more you discover about them” ~ Even The Stars (Manchester)

"As much of a blast from the past as it is poised to anchor many of this summer’s playlists" ~ Global Texan Chronicles (Germany)

"Dreamy and psychedelic, at times high energy and at times melancholic, but always pensive, always with a mission... elements of Tamaryn, Lush, Ride, Medicine, Slowdive and Men I Trust" ~ Amplify Music Magazine (Toronto)

Dublin-based indie pop artist Keeley presents the live performance of 'Never Here Always There', recorded at the Workman's Club as part of the Dublin Quays Festival, playing in support of their debut 'Brave Warrior' EP, recently released via Dimple Discs.

Dimple Discs is a London label with deep Irish music connections. Founded in 2018 by The Undertones' Damian O'Neill and former Stereolab publicist Brian O'Neill, it has grown to encompass such artists as Cathal Coughlan (The Fatima Mansions, Microdisney), Eileen Gogan, Kev Hopper, Dragon Welding, Nick Haeffner, Telefis, Baby Shakes and SACK.

Keeley also recently shared the video for 'You Never Made It That Far - a beautiful downtempo, trip hop, electro indie track that is the darkest cut from the EP. This follows from lead track 'The Glitter and The Glue' and singles 'Last Words' and 'Never Here Always There', which have received airplay in over 40 countries including multiple spins on BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show, play on SiriusXM in the USA (including legendary DJ Rodney Bingenheimer’s show) and has reached #1 on the Radio Indie Alliance Chart, a coalition over a hundred radio stations broadcasting on four continents.

For the past five years, Keeley has been publishing 'The Keeley Chronicles' blog, dedicated to the harrowing and mystifying case of murdered German tourist Inga-Maria Hauser in 1988. Working closely with Northern Irish police, senior politicians and Inga’s legal representatives in Northern Ireland to advance and resolve this notorious case, she is keeping the memory of this beautiful and mysterious soul alive.

'Brave Warrior' is now available everywhere online, including Spotify and Bandcamp. Keeley is already recording her next album (out in 2022) at Darklands Audio in Dublin, where Fontaines D.C. also recorded their first album.

On October 13, Keeley performs as headliner at Whelan's Main Room for the first time in 2021 with support from label-mate Dragon Welding (The Wolfounds' Andy Golding).

Dublin-based indie pop artist Keeley presents 'You Never Made It That Far, the final video clip from her debut 'Brave Warrior' EP and a beautiful downtempo, trip hop, electro indie exploration of the dark subject matter she has become known for.

For five years, Keeley has been publishing 'The Keeley Chronicles' blog, dedicated to the harrowing and mystifying case of murdered German tourist Inga-Maria Hauser in 1988. Working closely with Northern Irish police, senior politicians and Inga’s legal representatives in Northern Ireland to advance and resolve this notorious case, she is keeping the memory of this beautiful and mysterious soul alive.

This is the most electronic and darkest cut from the four-track EP, recently released via Dimple Discs, and follows on from the success of her current single 'The Glitter and The Glue', which has received airplay in over 40 countries including multiple spins on BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show, play on SiriusXM in the USA (including legendary DJ Rodney Bingenheimer’s show) and has reached #1 on the Radio Indie Alliance Chart, a coalition over a hundred radio stations broadcasting on four continents.

On August 11 (9pm GMT), Keeley will be live-streamed from The Workman’s Clubas part of the 2021 Dublin Quays Festival via the Festival’s YouTube channel and Facebook. This is the band's first live appearance of 2021 and the first with new drummer Tim O’Donovan.

Dimple Discs presents KEELEY 'Never Here Always There' ('Brave Warrior' EP out Friday)

June 14, 2021

"Incredibly talented and unique... in a universe of less brilliant stars. Keeley is certainly a refreshing discovery. It’s only a matter of time before she’s conquering earbuds and capturing hearts on this side of the Atlantic" ~ Big Takeover Magazine (New York)

"Arranged around a mesmerizing movement of drifting guitars and fuzzy vocals, “Never Here Always There” offers a still-pixelated glimpse into the mysterious end of a beautiful life" ~ American Songwriter

"Takes all the best parts of British music in the 1990’s and grants it a second breath in the New Twenties" ~ Moths and Giraffes (London)

"The Glitter And The Glue is a thrilling headrush of a song, whilst its partner-in-crime 'You Never Made It That Far' shows a more experimental electronic side to a band whose intrigue grows the more you discover about them” ~ Even The Stars (Manchester)

"The Glitter and the Glue' is as much of a blast from the past as it is poised to anchor many of this summer’s playlists... It’s a very rare occasion that an indelible pop song takes one on a journey into the darkness of the legal system, but this one does" ~ Global Texan Chronicles (Leipzig, Germany)

"Easily be described as dreamy and psychedelic, at times high energy and at times melancholic, but always pensive, always with a mission... Combining elements of Tamaryn, Lush, Ride, Medicine, Slowdive and Men I Trust" ~ Amplify Music Magazine (Toronto)

Irish psychedelic indie pop outfit Keeley presents 'Never Here Always There' in the lead-up to their debut 'Brave Warrior' EP, out June 18 digitally with a physical release planned for autumn.

The 'Brave Warrior' EP is being released via Dimple Discs, a London-based label with deep Irish music connections, having been founded in 2018 by The Undertones' Damian O'Neill and Brian O'Neill. Initially as a vehicle for Damian's solo projects. It has now grown to encompass such artists as The Undertones, Cathal Coughlan (The Fatima Mansions, Microdisney), Kev Hopper, Eileen Gogan, Dragon Welding, Nick Haeffner and Baby Shakes with forthcoming archive material from Microdisney and Fatima Mansions.

Hailing from Dublin and fronted by vocalist and guitarist Keeley, the band includes Marty Canavan on keyboards, Martin Fagan on bass and Pete Duff on drums. Keeley pursues an unusual conceptual thread, conceived several years ago, focusing on German tourist Inga Maria Hauser, whose murder in Northern Ireland in 1988 remains unsolved.

'Brave Warrior' demonstrates the multi-faceted songwriting smarts of one of Ireland’s most talked-about emerging bands, from this upbeat lead track to more spacey, darkly-dreamy electronic offerings, drenched in drama and soaked in sadness. This 4-track collection was produced and engineered by Alan Maguire, who mixed it together with Keeley, and mastered by Anthony Chapman (Franz Ferdinand, DEVO, Cathal Coughlan, Jesus Jones, Wolfhounds).

For the past five years, frontwoman Keeley has been publishing 'The Keeley Chronicles', a popular blot documenting the many facets of this unique, harrowing and mystifying case, correcting the falsely published details of Inga’s life and piecing together what really happened in her final days. Working closely with Northern Irish police, senior politicians and Inga’s legal representatives in Northern Ireland in concerted efforts to advance and resolve this notorious case, she is keeping the memory of this beautiful and mysterious soul alive.

"Inga is the subject of everything I write. From the moment I first read about her exactly five years ago now, her cause became a burning obsession for me. Since that day I haven’t written a song about anyone or anything else... I consider myself a concept artist and my purpose is to give Inga a voice," says Keeley.

Earlier, Keeley previewed lead track 'The Glitter and the Glue' - a blistering buffet of psychedelic rock, post-punk and the fuzzier, more frantic end of the dreampop spectrum - and the single 'Last Words’, topping Newstalk FM’s airplay chart, getting playlisted by RTE Radio 1 and 8Radio, and attracting support from radio in multiple countries. Picked by legendary broadcaster Tom Dunne as one of his ‘Top Tracks of 2020’, it was listed at #12 in Radio Nova's ’Top 15 Irish Songs of 2020’. Keeley also enjoyed full-page articles in the Belfast Telegraph and Derry Post, an unheard-of feat for an indie artist on their debut single.

Keeley is already recording their next LP at Darklands Audio in Dublin, where Fontaines D.C. also recorded their first album. As of June 18, 'Brave Warrior' will be available everywhere online, including Spotify and Bandcamp, where the lead track 'Glitter and The Glue' is already being offered for immediate download with any order.

Dublin psychedelic dreampop outfit Keeley sign to Dimple Discs for debut 'Brave Warrior' EP

May 24, 2021

"Incredibly talented and unique... in a universe of less brilliant stars. Keeley is certainly a refreshing discovery. It’s only a matter of time before she’s conquering earbuds and capturing hearts on this side of the Atlantic" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Takes all the best parts of British music in the 1990’s and grants it a second breath in the New Twenties" ~ Moths and Giraffes

"The Glitter And The Glue is a thrilling headrush of a song, whilst its partner-in-crime 'You Never Made It That Far' shows a more experimental electronic side to a band whose intrigue grows the more you discover about them” ~ Even The Stars Blog, Manchester

"The Glitter and the Glue' is as much of a blast from the past as it is poised to anchor many of this summer’s playlists... It’s a very rare occasion that an indelible pop song takes one on a journey into the darkness of the legal system, but this one does. And as bizarre as the connection between both may be, the single and the story of Inga Maria Hauser should be heard" ~ Global Texan Chronicles

"This music can easily be described as dreamy and psychedelic, at times high energy and at times melancholic, but always pensive, always with a mission... Combining elements of Tamaryn, Lush, Ride, Medicine, Slowdive and Men I Trust" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

London label Dimple Discs has announced the signing of Irish psychedelic dreampop outfit Keeley to its roster, not long after releasing the critically acclaimed new album from Cathal Coughlan (The Fatima Mansions, Microdisney). The label will release her debut 'Brave Warrior' EP digitally on June 18 with a physical release planned for autumn with a long-player scheduled for 2022.

Hailing from Dublin and fronted by vocalist and guitarist Keeley, the band includes Marty Canavan on keyboards, Martin Fagan on bass and Pete Duff on drums.

This four-track collection was produced and engineered by Alan Maguire, who mixed it together with Keeley, and mastered by Anthony Chapman (Franz Ferdinand, DEVO, Cathal Coughlan, Jesus Jones, Wolfhounds).

Lead track 'The Glitter and the Glue' is a blistering buffet of psychedelic rock, post-punk and the fuzzier, more frantic end of the dreampop spectrum. The shortest, fastest and most ecstatic explosion of energy released by Keeley to date, this is a hook-laden, melodic monster of a song with very unusual lyrical content. It is already receiving Irish airplay from Newstalk FM, Radio Nova, 98FM and has now been added to the playlists of Dublin City FM, KCLR 96FM and 8Radio.

The 'Brave Warrior' EP demonstrates the multi-faceted songwriting smarts of one of Ireland’s most talked-about emerging bands, ranging from this upbeat lead track to more spacey, darkly-dreamy electronic offerings, drenched in drama and soaked in sadness. Keeley pursues an unusual conceptual thread, conceived several years ago, focusing on German tourist Inga Maria Hauser, whose murder in Northern Ireland in 1988 remains unsolved.

For the past five years, the band's frontwoman and songwriter Keeleyhas been publishing a blog with a devoted global following - 'The Keeley Chronicles' - documenting the many facets of this unique, harrowing and mystifying case, correcting the falsely published details of Inga’s life and piecing together what really happened in the final days on her trip. By working in close quarters with Northern Irish police, senior politicians and Inga’s legal representatives in Northern Ireland in concerted efforts to advance and resolve this notorious case, she is keeping the memory of this beautiful and mysterious soul alive.

"Inga is the subject of everything I write. From the moment I first read about her exactly five years ago now, her cause became a burning obsession for me. Since that day I haven’t written a song about anyone or anything else... I consider myself a concept artist and my purpose is to give Inga a voice," says Keeley.

In October 2020, Keeley released the debut single 'Last Words’, topping Newstalk FM’s airplay chart, getting playlisted by RTE Radio 1 and 8Radio, and attracting support from radio in multiple countries. Picked by legendary broadcaster Tom Dunne as one of his ‘Top Tracks of 2020’, it was listed at #12 in Radio Nova's ’Top 15 Irish Songs of 2020’ and, upon its release, she became the subject of full-page articles in the Belfast Telegraph and Derry Post newspapers, a frankly unheard-of feat for an indie artist on their debut single.

Dimple Discs is a new Peckham label with deep Irish music connections, founded in 2018 by Damian O'Neill of The Undertones and Brian O'Neill, initially as a vehicle for Damian's solo projects. It has now grown to encompass such artists as The Undertones, Cathal Coughlan, Kev Hopper, Eileen Gogan, Dragon Welding, Nick Haeffner and Baby Shakes with forthcoming archive material from Microdisney and Fatima Mansions.

"We are thrilled to have Keeley joining us as she is an exciting new talent - we were hooked from the opening bars of 'The Glitter And The Glue'. Welcome to the family Keeley!" says Brian O'Neill.

Already recording new works at Darklands Audio in Dublin, where Fontaines D.C. recorded their first album, Keeley looks forward to releasing this 'Brave Warrior' EP on June 18. It can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp with 'Glitter and The Glue' being offered for immediate download with any order.
