Paddy Hanna released his fifth album Oylegate on April 11 via Strange Brew Records and returns to the podcast for the first time since TPOE 90 in 2018. That was around his second album Frankly, I Mutate. In between, there have been two albums, The Hill in 2020 and Imagine I'm Hoping in 2022, which Paddy himself says flopped. While he's got married and become a dad of two since we last chatted, artistically it's been a tough road. --- From the press release: OYLEGATE, the upcoming album from Paddy Hanna, is a journey through the euphoric highs and crushing lows of parenthood, delivered with his signature blend of melancholic wit and lush, off-kilter charm. Elation and exhaustion. Love and terror. The weight of responsibility and the strange, disorienting beauty of watching life unfold before your eyes. After his fourth album, Imagine I'm Hoping, arrived to critical acclaim but not the mainstream success needed for him to continue on as a full-time musician, Hanna found himself at a personal and artistic low point. However, thanks to support from the Arts Council and the encouragement of his family, Hanna has returned as the intrepid captain of his own ship; he may not know the destination, but he'll see us along the journey with his graceful pop sensibilities. Determined to sidestep the usual sentimental trappings of writing about having a child, Hanna found an unlikely creative companion in grim Soviet-era cinema. As he wrote, films like Solaris flickered in the background—bleak, meditative landscapes that mirrored the depths of sleep deprivation and the existential wonder of bringing a new life into the world. This contrast of warmth and detachment, of intimate revelation and surreal detour, courses through OYLEGATE's DNA. Despite its moments of cold introspection, OYLEGATE is sonically rich and enveloping—an effect captured in a single request to producer Daniel Fox: "sweet, sweet caramel." Hanna wanted the music to feel like satin lining the listener's ears, wrapping them in warmth even when the themes tilt towards darkness. True to form, OYLEGATE marks yet another creative leap for an artist who refuses to be boxed in. "One advantage of being an ‘artist's artist' is that you never have to worry about being creatively different between albums. There's real freedom in doing whatever you want and not being judged for it. And even if you are judged, who gives a shit? That spirit of fearless exploration—of finding joy in the unknown, the absurd, and the deeply personal—defines OYLEGATE. An odyssey of tenderness and turbulence, it's the sound of an artist embracing life's messiest, most beautiful contradictions. Buy Oylegate: https://paddyhanna.bandcamp.com/album/oylegate

Today I am going to be chatting to Caskré, which is the professional and artistic identity of recording, mixing and mastering engineer Jamie Hyland!I'll be chatting with her about all how her interests in music and mixing and mastering began, how working in the vinyl factory MLV helped inform her work, the many projects she has worked on including the A Lethal Black Ooze vinyl release (which was recorded on tape and there's an incredible story about how that all went) and Gilla band's debut album 'Holding Hands with Jamie', which of course was named after her.We'll of course be chatting about her band Mhaol and their latest two singles, 'Snare' and 'Pursuit', how fun the music video for 'Snare' was to shoot and what Mhaol may have possibly in store for us next. Caskré has been pretty much a dream guest to get on, over the moon that actually happened and it's finally going to be out. Her list of clients she's worked with alone is insane, such acts like YARD, Psychotic Monks, Lambrini Girls, Gash Collective and Paddy Hanna - to name but a few.

Dublin-based artist Naoise Roo released her second album Emotionally Magnificent on October 27 and brings the curtain down on the project with 'The Last Headline Show Ever Probably' at the Workman's Club on Friday, February 2, featuring special guests Paddy Hanna and Clara Tracey and support from Danny Carroll. On this episode, Naoise talks about some of the reasons why the project is coming to an end and we talk through Emotionally Magnificent track by track. Buy the album: https://naoiseroo.bandcamp.com/merch/emotionally-magnificent-vinyl-special-edition Sign up to the TPOE newsletter (free): https://tpoe.substack.com/ --- Naoise Roo's Instagram message about 'The Last Headline Show Ever Probably': Years ago, I remember seeing an update on Simple Kid's website that included a picture of him and the words "Simple Kid is working out what he wants to do with the rest of his life" or some similar sentiment. I've thought about that a lot over the years. I think its time to explore some other things. There is never a time that seems easy to stop; it always feels like sustainable creative success is just around the corner, that you are waiting on a bus to speed you towards a new destination. However, those of us who have been in this game a long time are often faced with the realisation that the destination doesn't really exist — or when it does, no one knows how long it will last. I think I'd like to switch gears and take a paddleboat somewhere, nowhere in particular. I don't really care about success in the traditional sense. I do, however, care about peace, and trying to be the best version of my creative self. Over the last few years, I have realised that the aspects of this work I value the most involve being in the studio, being with people I love and trust, and making something magic. I am far more suited to this cocoon, rather than the emerging butterfly stage of this vocation. Experiencing major losses last year reminded me how emotionally exhausting this industry can be. Being solo is lonely, even though it obviously takes a village to make things happen and I've been privileged to have support across many things. I could conceivably have a hiatus and not make such a boundary, but truthfully I think I want to create space in my life for other things, ideas, projects and also just to be. I've loved making this music and playing this music. I am so intensely grateful that people have written about my music, shared it with other people or have supported me by coming to the shows and buying records and merch. I am also endlessly grateful to all the people I made music with. It would mean a lot if yall would come on Feb 2nd and we see this thing out in style in Workmans. --- From the press release: Released via North Carolina label Schoolkids Records, Emotionally Magnificent is offered as the culmination of a chapter of a journey that takes in both Lilith and Naoise Roo's 2020 Sick Girlfriend EP, whose four tracks are incorporated here. Combined, it honours the full, sprawling majesty of Naoise Roo as a singular artist. Rather than some throwaway snapshot, released as a mere means to an end, Emotionally Magnificent is a slow focus triumph of reflection and resolve. “The Sick Girlfriend EP had a lot to do with my mental health and how I felt about navigating the music industry,” says Naoise Roo. “‘Falling Stars,' for example, is about watching all these talented people around me hitting the wall and leaving music because it's just too hard to keep going. ‘Sick Girlfriend' itself is basically about the trope of the manic pixie dream girl and how that's exploited, sexualized or slandered.”

Joining Andy in this edition of Be Grand is singer songwriter Paddy Hanna. Paddy is one of the most exciting talents around, with a skill for writing a catchy ear-worm, a voice that sounds like Scott Walker and a charismatic wit, which makes him the perfect performer. Born with an eye for the darker underbelly and the outsiders of life, Paddy’s childhood would come to greatly influence him, from his love of horror movies to his enduring predilection for the outlaws in life. Paddy learned it’s always more fun to do the thing that people are not expecting (such as befriending your school principal just because you want to). This attitude has guided him throughout his life, influencing decisions in his career and ultimately teaching him the most fun you can have in life is proving people wrong. Paddy also chats to Andy about the times in life he thought he had lost it all, his experience of hanging out with a Star Trek captain and how he has learnt that the best things in life are worth waiting for. Paddy Hanna’s third album ‘The Hill’ will be released on September 25 and is available to pre-order via https://www.strangebrew.ie/. Its lead single ‘Cannibals’ is available now on all digital platforms. www.paddyhanna.bandcamp.com (http://www.paddyhanna.bandcamp.com/) www.soundcloud.com/paddy-hanna (http://www.soundcloud.com/paddy/hanna) http://www.breakingtunes.com/paddyhanna www.twitter.com/paddyhanna (http://www.twitter.com/paddyhannamusic) http://www.facebook.com/Paddyhannamusic www.strangebrew.ie (http://www.strangebrew.ie/)
Dublin-based songwriter Paddy Hanna today reveals “Cannibals”, the first track from his forthcoming album The Hill. “Cannibals” is out now on all digital platforms. The Hill, which will be released on September 25th, is available to pre-order via https://www.strangebrew.ie/ As Paddy explains about the new single - “Cannibals is a maze of conflicted thought, it asks the question, are we decent people or demons in cheap wigs? The track mixes organic with inorganic sounds to create that conflict, acoustic instruments blend with found drum sounds while woozy synthesisers create an uncertain haze. The end-result, I hope, is something resembling Ennio Morricone by way of Late period Tom Waits, but I’ll let you draw your own conclusions”. The album features Girl Band’s Adam Faulkner and Daniel Fox on Drums & Double Bass, Daniel Fitzpatrick (Badhands, The Mighty Stef) on guitar & Keys and Jill Redmond on Vocals. The record was produced by Daniel Fox and the artwork was designed by Jill Redmond. Paddy explains further about the album – “We lost ourselves on the Hill, Daniel, Daniel, Adam and I. a seemingly endless spell of isolation spent banging sheet metal, rusted hubcaps and blistering our fingers through non stop recording. The Hill is an internal musical about how the past and the present exist at the same time in our minds. It deals with the struggles of mental health, the sometimes difficult search for happiness and the moral conflict of growing up in Catholic Ireland. As a listener I want you to take a seat inside my head, to smell the west cork air, to feel the gravel under your feet. In order to get this we set up ambient mics outside our makeshift studio to capture the natural landscape, we wandered boatyards and an abandoned train station recording old bits of metal we would clang, to give the album a sense of place. Sonically we also wanted to step away from the String sections used on Leafy Stiletto, opting instead to create melodies and tones using vocals and synthesisers. Most importantly however, I just wanted to put the past behind me on this record, I wanted to leave it on the hill. I hope you enjoy my therapy”. Hanna’s third album will be released via Strange Brew
Dublin-based band Autre Monde release their debut album The Imaginary Museum on Strange Brew Records this Friday, February 28. After playing together and with each other in various bands under the Popical Island collective, the foursome - Paddy Hanna (vocals), Padraig Cooney (bass, synth, vocals), Mark Chester (guitar) and Eoghan O'Brien (drums, synth, backing vocals) - got together and had their first rehearsal on the last day of the Popical Island space, the Pop Inn. After a couple of singles and EPs since 2017, they finally release this brilliant debut album, recorded with Daniel Fox (Girl Band) and which was done with the organising principle of making a record “by a band who were playing esoteric post-punk in 1979 but who are now transplanted to 1986 where a hit is demanded”. Over a 50-minute chat in their hostel room at Kinlay House after a show at Quarter Block Party early in February, Autre Monde talk about band injuries, how they got together, Popical Island, 'bockety' music, Strange Brew, and lots more. Press release: Autre Monde emerged from the ashes of the Popical Island collective as its headquarters fell victim to the city's relentless purge of cultural spaces in 2017. Indeed, the first Autre Monde rehearsal was on the last day of the Pop Inn's existence as a venue/rehearsal/recording space on Little Britain Street. They quickly gained attention for their early singles and stirring live performances, with The Thin Air insisting they were “one of the very best bands in the country”. The Irish Times noted that Autre Monde were “mining Television, ESG, Suicide and the The Slits”, and that's about right. A murky, exploratory self-titled EP followed (with 8-minute Can via Pentangle-channelling highlight 'Your Name' still a favourite in live sets) before the band set out to make "The Imaginary Museum" in summer 2018. They signed to Strange Brew in 2019 in time to release the first fruits of those sessions. The first single from The Imaginary Museum, Fever in May, was used in an Audi ad in late 2019. They have been invited to play at the 2020 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
