It's November, the nights are fair drawing in, and LAURA reckons it's the start of winter already. PICTISH TRAIL is still in a summery mood, and tries to pay Laura a compliment on her hair - but ends up talking about his own greasy locks for possibly too many minutes. Thankfully there's some new music to keep you entertained - the obligatory track from LOST MAP PRESENTS WEIRD WAVE, an archive track from EAGLEOWL, as well as some new music on PostMap Club from TWO WHITE CRANES, VICTORIA HUME and SUSAN BEAR. There's no featured interview this month, but we have resurrected an ol' fave - FIRST GIG WORST GIG, in which artists tell us about the first gig they attended as a punter, and the very worst gig they've ever played themselves.

Das dritte Album von Seamus Fogarty heißt Bag of Eyes und es ist der Versuch Dinge ein wenig anders zu machen. Mehr Drum Machine, mehr Snyths, weniger von der Gitarre, die den Künstler schon seit Jahren begleitet. Es ist trotzdem kein Kraftwerk Album geworden, aber es ist spielerisch und wunderschön in seiner Mischung aus altem und neuen Ideen. Ihr bekommt ...

Listen to this weeks episode as your two wacky hosts, Sam and Leo, discuss the newest album by singer/songwriter, Seamus Fogarty.

Irish singer songwriter Seamus Fogarty released his third album A Bag Of Eyes on Domino Records on November 6. We talked just before its release about how it was created, having been borne of the London-based artist "growing weary" of the guitar. We discuss his journey over the past ten-plus years, with detours along the way courtesy of the late Willie Meighan of Rollercoaster Records and King Creosote's Fence Records. A little from the press release: A Bag Of Eyes is a wholly different sonic prospect to 2017's much-lauded The Curious Hand. Weary of the guitar, and seeking something darker than its predecessor, he chose to lean more heavily on synths and drum machines, and additionally, to self-produce. “It was about creating and exploring new sound worlds,” Fogarty says. “Experimenting with new ways of incorporating electronics into the songwriting process, and in some cases dispensing with conventional songwriting processes altogether.” There is industrial judder, slacker-fuzz guitar, a cacophony of saxophones. On one track, ring-modulated drums kick in with oscillating fury. Another moves from 90s' shit-hole grunge venue to sleazy jazz joint in four minutes. Whilst on a third, a synth is deployed with the express purpose of sawing the listeners' ears in half, Fogarty attests. However, beneath them lie fragments of melody, image, drone; a flicker of banjo, an electronic pulse. “I like to purposely make music that clashes with the more traditional stuff that I do,” he says.

What followed was life changing, with the band touring Europe and Australia, Russia and the USA, which they crossed six times in three years, growing a huge fanbase as they moved from town to town. Their most recent album, the stunning Ephemera from 2017, is a reflection on those growing year, their shared experiences. www.littlegreencars.com   Now signed to Domino Records, Mayo songwriter Seamus Fogarty and his band borrow from every genre, from krautrock to traditional balladry and everything in between, mixing conventional instrumentation with found sounds and live electronics, all fronted by Fogarty’s plaintive vocal and song-writing. Since releasing his first album in 2012 on legendary Scottish label Fence Records (King Creosote, James Yorkston), his songs have featured extensively across both the BBC and RTE His latest album The Curious Hand, produced by Fogarty and Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Wild Beasts), received rave reviews across the board with the Guardian awarding it 5/5 (a ‘stunning, mercurial album’) while The Irish Times, The Observer, Q Magazine and Mojo all awarded it 4 stars. He was also one of only a handful of Irish artists to grace the Guardian's Top 100 songs of 2017 with his song Van Gogh's Ear. www.seamusfogarty.com Growing up in Mayo, Ireland, Maria Kelly spent many years crafting and developing her sound into a delicate blend of atmospheric-alt-folk. In 2016, Maria released Stitches (Veta Records), which was named one of ‘The 50 Best Tracks of 2016’ in The Irish Times. Maria went on to release her debut EP The Things I Should, followed by the haunting Double A Dark Places / Small Talk in April of this year. Maria has played numerous shows in both the UK and Ireland supporting James Vincent McMorrow, KT Tunstall, Billie Marten and Paul Noonan, as well as performances at the Great Escape Festival, Electric Picnic, the National Concert Hall and London’s Barbican. Maria was selected as ‘Listener’s Choice Artist’ in the Other Voices Open Call 2017. She travelled to Dingle to perform at Other Voices 2017 in the IMRO Other Room recordings, which were broadcast on RTE earlier this year. Maria is currently living in Berlin, working on new material and growing a European fanbase. www.mariakellymusic.com Beyond the chapel gates, the Other Voices Music Trail will feature an exciting and diverse line-up of performers, musicians, bands and DJs, plying their wares across the pubs and venues of Ballina on September 28th and 29th.
