Music from Ireland

*2026 stock* "NEST is a Mass for the Tenant, not a Mass in the traditional sense, but I see the piece as a Mass for the tenants of the past and the present. NEST is also a critical response to the theme of home in Éamon de Valera's 1943 radio address, 'On Language and the Irish Nation'. With a libretto by Eimear Walshe, the line, "they come to make a ruin", repeats throughout the piece like a congregational response. A line that traverses periods and regions, it conjures different scenarios, fro…

*2026 stock* A follow up to 'A Year In Any Other Place' (Falt) from 2022, 'The Root, The Interim' is a tape composition in four parts, drawing on the influences of musique concrete, cinema & dub. Constructed over 14 months in 2022-3, it is a tour of parks, hotels, kitchens, churches, utility rooms. Obstacles are encountered. Objects tested, discarded or transported from one space to another. Recordings endlessly played back and forth through different media. Song fragments forgotten and remember…

A blackbird at dawn inspired a living score: Natalia Beylis’ work, ‘Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees’, is a 52-minute longform journey about land stewardship grown from the sounds and textures of a single field in Leitrim, Ireland. This recording of 'Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees' captures the piece as it existed on Friday 12 December 2025. I mention a specific date, because the score for this work is constantly shifting and provides a new variation each time it is played, echoing…

*2026 repress* Recorded at St Georges Church, Carrick On Shannon, Leitrim on a cold early January with a William Telford Organ. Built in 1846, it is reputed to be the second oldest organ in Ireland. Track 1/Side A: 'Pour Upon The Sky' is a story told by the two voices of cello and organ. Influenced by the rhetorical style of 18th century vocal music, the inspiration for this piece came naturally to Eimear who has a background in early music and has performed alongside the organ in a variety of s…

*250 copies limited edition* "Pipeworx" is the new release from Irish musician Mel Keane, out April 24, 2026 on Deardogs. For the last two or so years, Mel Keane has been researching and making work in response to the pipe band (bagpipe and snare drum military adjacent marching bands) tradition, which is found mostly in countries that have been colonised by the UK, such as Ireland. This new record came as the result of this research, exploring the instability and directness of the bagpipes, but…

Rare 1986 pre-shoegaze masterpieces 4-track EP under the feedback influence of The Jesus and Mary Chain, on Fever.

On "EP’s 1988–1991 and rare tracks", My Bloody Valentine crystallise the leap from scuzzy indie to full‑blown shoegaze alchemy: the Creation‑era EPs and stray cuts where overdriven pop songs dissolve into colour‑smeared noise, vapor‑thin vocals and the weightless lurch that would become Loveless.

Irish-English rock legends My Bloody Valentine announce the release of Soft As Snow: Peel Sessions And Rare Tracks, a highly anticipated vinyl collection that showcases some of the band's rare gems and mesmerizing performances captured during the iconic John Peel Sessions. Soft As Snow serves not only as a collection of rare tracks but also as a celebration of the band's innovative sound and artistic evolution over the years. With their unique blend of dreamy melodies, heavy distortion, and haun…

* Deluxe Edition Black vinyl in gatefold sleeve, inners + printed inner sleeve * my bloody valentine, the quartet of Bilinda Butcher, Kevin Shields, Deb Googe and Colm Ó Cíosóig, are widely revered as one of the most ground-breaking and influential groups of the past forty years. During an era in which guitar bands denoted, at best, a retro-classicism, not only did my bloody valentine sound unlike any of their contemporaries, the band achieved the rare feat of sounding like the future.  The seco…

*200 copies limited edition* Nestled at the center of Natalia Beylis’ music is an intertwined practice of listening and creating. She regularly foregrounds both field recordings and found instruments, building worlds around the curious sounds she comes upon and letting the process of recontextualization create meaning out of unexpected meetings. The picture that emerges is one of her having a profound connection to her environment, whether that is a community of human beings or the vast non-huma…

*80 copies limited edition* Natalia Beylis' latest instalment picks up where her last solo release left us: in an audio universe of Beylis' own transient design: a perpetual arrangement of notes, chords, voices, rattles and rhythms that seem to constantly flow though all her work. 'Library of Sticks' brings us in deep to her vast archive of found sounds and field recordings. A moment in sound captured by Beylis' ears and recording device, stored away until it's time becomes apparent and then nes…

Much-needed 2025 repress 'It was a rainy day at the recycling centre in Leitrim. There, amongst the tangle of discarded kettles and broken down toasters, I first laid eyes on her: a CRB Elettronica Ancona - Model: Diamond 708 E Electric Keyboard. She waited, resolved to her fate of slowly oxidizing in the drizzle before being crumpled into the back of a lorry heading for the landfill. Or maybe, she waited, knowing I would come. I smuggled her into the back of my van and brought her home. For yea…

*300 copies limited edition* Well this is a dream, Ukrainian experimental composer Natalia Beylis put together "Love-In-A-Mist, Edible" over the course of three years, recording pianos she would find at other people's houses or on holiday, in Ireland, Amsterdam and Morocco. Ghostly and emotional musical polaroids - it draws immediate parallels with Dominique Lawalrée’s 'First Meeting’ which - you prob know by now - is all the comparison it needs to have our ears fully pricked. Presented “like ho…
