SUMMARY:TUNE-YARDS
DESCRIPTION:FOGGY NOTIONS PRESENTS\nTUNE-YARDS\nWHELAN’S\n29TH NOVEMBER\nSOLD OUT.\n					\n									TICKETMASTER\n					\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n																														 \nTune-Yards\, the dynamic duo of Merrill Garbus and Nate Brenner\, release new single ‘Heartbreak’\, the second offering from their upcoming album\, Better Dreaming\, out 16 May\, showcasing some of their most effortlessly groove-filled music to date. ‘Heartbreak’ is the album’s opening track\, building huge chords of Garbus’ vocal harmony around a fat slow-jam beat full of clicks\, pops\, samples\, and dubbed snares. Garbus\, soulful as ever\, sings of heartbreak as fuel\, as a challenge. In the world of Better Dreaming\, a lyric like\, “Watch me survive another heartbreak” hits like a call to action. The track is accompanied by a dynamic self-directed video\, shot by DOP Sarah Jaffe. ‘Heartbreak’ follows the infectious first single\, ‘Limelight’\, born from dancing together as a family to George Clinton\, with Garbus and Brenner’s 3-year-old heard singing on the track. \nToday Tune-Yards also announce their UK and European headline tour for November including a performance at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 22 November. This follows a run of US tour dates in May and June\, their first U.S. headlining tour since 2022\, with additional September shows supporting Ani DiFranco. Performing as a duo\, Garbus and Brenner will bring Better Dreaming to life\, offering fans a rare chance to experience the album’s vitality and messages up close. Known for their electrifying live performances – where layered rhythms\, looping beats\, and Garbus’ powerhouse vocals collide – these shows promise a versatile return to the stage. \nMore on Better DreamingDistraction\, depression\, and heartbreak reign supreme in 2025. “Making art in this day and age for me is a battle for focus; we’re in an age of interruption\,” says Garbus of Tune-Yards’ sixth album Better Dreaming. Proudly waving an anti-fascist\, liberation\, freak flag\, Better Dreaming contains some of Tune-Yards smoothest\, funkiest\, and most direct pop music to date\, and yes\, you can dance to it. And when you do dance to it\, be prepared to sweat out something that’s been long stuck inside\, and pretty deep down. \nThe songs of Better Dreaming came to Garbus and Brenner with unusual ease. They asked themselves what would happen if they simply let the songs come out\, following any trail they wished – first thought\, best thought style. There was a strong desire to move\, to make music that would enter the ear and immediately loosen up the joints\, get the whole body wiggling. After covid-isolation\, and time away from touring and live shows\, the desire to be moved by music was undeniable. The insane experience of growing an actual human being influenced this as well. \nThe rhythms throughout the record carry a certain freshness\, with deep pockets full of subtle idiosyncrasies that stem from Tune-Yards’ return to making an album primarily as a duo. All but one of these songs are built around Garbus’ drum looping and rhythm building\, as they were on some of the early albums like Bird-Brains and W H O K I L L – no full kit drummer here\, and the songs love it. \nBetter Dreaming is ferocious in its invocation of self-love\, of collective action\, of dance floor liberation\, ego-death deliverance\, and a future we could all thrive in. When diving into the present darkness of the world\, Tune-Yards ask themselves how much literal energy and joy can be conjured and pumped through the music. In its life-affirming art-pop of the apocalypse\, Better Dreaming comes true. Better Dreaming is out on 16 May on all digital platforms\, CD\, standard black vinyl and clear blue wave vinyl (indie retail only).  \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

Tickets on sale now. \nRory Sweeney is a Dublin-based electronic artist known for raw\, genre-warped approaches to sound. Equal parts Enya and Autechre\, Rory uses dense production and a DIY ethos to create his post internet music. A key presence in Ireland\, Rory’s work with MCs\, vocalists\, and visual artists has garnered extensive critical acclaim\, making him a central figure in Ireland’s flourishing musical ecosystem.  \nRorys sophomore album ‘Old Earth’\, already being tipped as one of the best of the year\, is currently at no.18 in the Irish charts\, all the more impressive when you consider it wasn’t released on Spotify or through a label. Beautiful\, tense\, existential and playful all at once\, ‘Old Earth’ is Sweeney at his most dazzling and undefineable. The album is heavily inspired by Stone Tape Theory\, which posits that ghosts\, hauntings and supernatural phenomena are the result of events being imprinted into the land. Sweeney uses the memory of the land and his own personal memory to reflect on accelerating tech capitalism\, hauntological non places of modern ireland\, the irish otherworld and personal moments\, playing with anacronism and physical sound. Old Earth is a reflection on disappearing time and memory in the information age\, while trying to reckon with history and the esoteric. \n  \nLISTEN NOW \nhttps://youtu.be/1JsYEh-30gI?si=smBCmbpgpKjhCN4Z%20\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

SUMMARY:NIGHT TAPES
DESCRIPTION:FOGGY NOTIONS PRESENTS\nNIGHT TAPES\nSOUND HOUSE\n6TH DECEMBER\nSOLD OUT.\n					\n									TICKETMASTER\n					\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n																														 \nFoggy Notions is proud to present the Irish headline debut by Night Tapes. Tickets are sold out. \nElusive London based 3-piece Night Tapes today announce their anticipated debut album portals//polarities\, which will be released via Nettwerk Music Group on September 26th. The band also today share new single pacifico and announce plans for a UK & EU tour\, including a headline show at London’s Village Underground. \nSpeaking on the new trip-hop inspired single\, Night Tapes say; \n“pacifico was written after our friend returned from Mexico (San Jose del Pacifico) and told us stories about how beautiful it was. It’s about our idea of Pacifico – like a state of mind you can reach\, as we still haven’t been there. This is our homage to 93 ‘til infinity by Souls of Mischief” \nMost bands would say their music is a product of their environment\, but it’s true for none more than Night Tapes. On the London trio’s extraordinary\, dazzling debut album\, portals//polarities\, the band take you inside the places and sounds of its creation around the globe. Across the album\, you’ll hear a bubbling swamp in Tallinn\, Estonia\, wildlife and birdsong from Mexico\, a Los Angeles police helicopter and more. It’s a deeply immersive and wildly exploratory first full statement from a unique and thrilling act. \nMixing personal and political\, Night Tapes’ music thrives on humanity and connection. Making music together in a shared house in south east London\, the songs of Iiris Vesik\, Max Doohan and Sam “Richie” Richards had to be quiet to avoid disturbing neighbours. “It was about capturing the vibe of the house\,” Vesik remembers\, then realising that the songs “became time capsules of the different places we were.” For Richards\, each song comes with a specific and clear memory of the surroundings in which it was created. “It feels like a flipbook of that time\,” he says. \n“The album is an exploration of energies and an exploration into my soul. I go into the spectrality of my being and into different polarities within myself. I would like to understand myself and to understand relationships I have with myself and others because I’m trying to change the small things in order to tackle the big ones. I’m just trying to be as honest as possible because lies are prisons. I’m from a country that used to be under authoritarian rule. I am really grateful to have been born in a free country and I value freedom above most things\,” Estonian-born Iiris\, who was in the womb during the Singing Revolution that freed her country\, says of the record. \nThree electronic producers with a penchant for analogue\, Night Tapes exist in a world that is dreamy and widescreen with plenty of bite. Debut single Forever now sits on 10 million streams on Spotify and became an underground hit through the pandemic. Traditional song structures often handbrake turn into dissonant noise or extended ambient sections\, blurring the lines between band and studio project in new and exciting ways. \nWith portals//polarities\, they have made an album that dreams big but is defined by how daringly human and real it is\, capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments and happy accidents to make music that feels truly\, beautifully alive. \nNight Tapes are Iiris Vesik\, Max Doohan and Sam Richards. \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

SUMMARY:JOHN MAUS
DESCRIPTION:FOGGY NOTIONS PRESENTS\nJOHN MAUS\nBUTTON FACTORY\n6TH DECEMBER\n\n					\n									TICKETMASTER\n					\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n																														 \nFoggy Notions is proud to present John Maus this December.  \nTwo decades and seven albums into his career\, American musician\, composer\, and academic John Maus will release his most transcendent work yet: Later Than You Think. Arriving via his new label YOUNG\, the album explores themes of grief\, justice\, rebirth\, transformation\, and spiritual warfare – coalescing into a work of confession and confrontation: an aural metaphysics where affect\, intellect\, and spirit converge in search of the beautiful\, the truth and the real. \nWritten\, produced\, and recorded in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri\, Later Than You Think spans 16 tracks and contains multitudes – the lush and the bare\, the sacred and the profane\, minimalist discipline and maximalist indulgence\, counterpoint and simple pop harmony. At its core\, the album reaffirms John Maus’ commitment to radical sincerity and emotional truth in an age of alienation. Powered by confrontation\, faith and transformation – driven by the urgent belief that meaning still matters\, and time is of the essence. \nWith five previous albums under his belt – Songs (2006)\, Love Is Real (2007)\, We Must Become The Pitiless Censors of Ourselves (2011)\, Screen Memories (2017) and Addendum (2018) – Maus has carved out a singular path where irony\, grief\, joy\, and absurdity can coexist and gained a cult following along the way. On Later Than You Think Maus doesn’t just return—he confronts\, confesses\, and transforms. The result is not only a career-defining work\, but a rare artistic offering: one that dares to believe in meaning\, beauty\, and the possibility of transcendence.  \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

The musicians’ empathy is impressive.” HiFi News – 8.5/10 \n“A ragged poem of a record\, one of great experimental passages” Far Out \n“Stirring stuff… Even during its quietest moments Love Changes Everything simmers with the unpredictability of a dormant volcano.” The New Cue \n“A truly magical experience… It is staggering how much Dirty Three can invoke.” Echoes & Dust \n“From the surprisingly fierce Love Changes Everything Part I to the long\, surging closer Part VI\, this new record is fresh but familiar\, pushing forward but still recognisably them… This is a really wonderful return.” Narc – 4 stars **** \nDirty Three are an Australian instrumental trio known for their emotionally charged\, genre-defying music that blends post-rock\, folk\, and classical influences. Formed in 1992\, the band features Warren Ellis (violin)\, Mick Turner (guitar)\, and Jim White (drums)—each a master of their instrument\, creating a sound that is raw\, cinematic\, and deeply evocative. Ellis’s impassioned violin work leads the charge\, often sounding like a voice crying through storms of distortion and rhythm. Dirty Three’s music is wordless yet profound\, capturing heartbreak\, beauty\, and chaos with unfiltered intensity. Albums like Ocean Songs and Horse Stories are hailed as landmarks in experimental rock. Their live performances are equally legendary\, balancing fierce improvisation with soul-stirring clarity. Dirty Three aren’t just a band—they’re a force of nature\, shaping modern instrumental music with a uniquely poetic and uncompromising vision. \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

Tickets on sale now. \nConamara-raised musician and performer Olan Monk has announced Songs for Nothing\, their second album will be released on London label AD 93 on 7 November 2025. Alongside this news\, they’ve shared a heavy-hearted new music video\, directed by Charlie Joe Doherty\, for the first single “Down 3” featuring Maria Somerville\, a fellow Conamara artist. \nSongs for Nothing was written upon Olan Monk’s return to the west coast of Ireland. The album is imbued with the influence of sean-nós singing\, Irish language songs in the “old style” that often proclaim tales of love\, loss and landscape; and also heavily indebted to the late Sinéad O’Connor’s confessional songwriting. Reconstructing these influences through their unique perspective has resulted in a fragmentary album veering between collaged pop\, machinic rock and slow airs\, “dedicated to Conamara and all who have called it home”. The western\, Atlantic-facing edge of Ireland has a particular feeling and energy\, one that permeates the release: the granite pulsates\, the ocean and sky reflect intensities\, seaweed rots on shingle shores\, plants bloom\, ancient trees come up for air from the drowned forest in Galway Bay\, the sun splinters through the low clouds. \nThe album’s title suggests a one-way transaction\, an offering to the listener expecting nothing in return\, but also a devotion to nothingness; and the realm of infinite possibility that springs from its well: singing out into a sparse landscape\, which once was home to long-lost forests and communities. \nA departure from Olan Monk’s previous\, more electronic work\, the instrumental arrangements of Songs for Nothing delve deeper into the “gothic art rock” descriptor (as noted by Irish writer Eoin Murray\, Anois Ós Ard)\, with elements of shoegaze\, witch house\, cloud rap and Irish traditional music bleeding through the walls of the studio. Never straying too far from the vocal refrains and guitar riffs of their previous collaborations over the past few years; from co-writing and performing vocals with fellow AD 93 act Moin on “Guess It’s Wrecked” from their wide-reaching album You Never End in 2024\, performing in the same year on the acclaimed Princ€ss debut; to recording guitar on Maria Somerville’s 4AD debut Luster and contributing guitar and production to Ghost Mountain’s Haunted Mound return on October Country\, both released earlier this year. \nSongs for Nothing\, in melding influences old and new feels at times absurd\, but never ironic; it is from the heart\, and its respect for song traditions and dedication to process are felt in two arrangements of older songs embracing this new trajectory: “Fate (Reprise)” is an earlier recording reimagined as a doomer ballad with Maria Somerville singing in a duet\, and “Amhrán Mhaínse” is a Conamara anthem slowed down as a duo of accordion performed by Peadar Tom Mercier accompanied by heavy guitar drones. \nFolding in other Irish neo-traditional expressionists and experimentalists\, the record also features Michael Speers\, Dylan Kerr\, Aindriú De Buitléir\, Risteárd O’hAodha and Róisín Berkeley. The addition of the tin whistle across the album\, full of intention\, captures the uncomfortable relationship between our love as a people for our traditions with a long-standing alienation from our own language and culture. Songs For Nothing rejects today’s disconnect with this heritage; they call for us to collectively work our way back out of this void. Releasing just in time for the end of October\, these are the songs for the Samhain. \nLISTEN NOW \n\n\n\nALL SHOWS

The concert film offers a timeless visual document of the night\, combining striking performance footage with the atmosphere and energy of a sold-out National Concert Hall audience for the MusicTown Festival at Dublin. \nThe show’s lighting was designed by the band’s close friend and long-time collaborator Conor Biddle\, who passed away this year. This project stands as their final work together\, and the band have dedicated the release to his memory. \nDream Big Live with the National Symphony Orchestra will be released as a deluxe double gatefold vinyl with a 12-page booklet featuring stills from the film\, as well as a digital album and streaming concert film. \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

Tickets on sale now. \n“If you’ve ever wanted to hear the vibe of doom-laden bands like Subrosa blended with the sonic approach of bands like True Widow\, L.A\,’s Faetooth is the perfect band for you.” Decibel Magazine \nSpawning from Los Angeles\, Faetooth forges “fairy-doom”: an eclectic amalgamation of doom metal\, sludge\, and shoegaze. From spellbinding melodies to guttural shrieks\, Faetooth’s music conjures a looming atmosphere offering you a glimpse into their mystifying realm. Having recently released the ferociously beautiful track “Death of Day\,” sound\, Faetooth returns with their sophomore album\, Labyrinthine. \nLabyrinthine is a visceral\, haunting\, disturbing vision filled with introspection. Enter through the \n“Iron Gate” — the garden\, the light\, the void\, the body. This is exemplified by their new track\, \n“White Noise\,” out today. “White Noise” emerged from a diary entry\, and is a relentless and intense reflection on inner turmoil. We’re often drawn to the familiar\, even when we don’t realize we’re reaching out for it. It is an emotional upheaval\, carrying harsh truths that weigh heavily on the heart. Guitarist\, Ari May mentions\, “Performing the song always takes me back to a specific place\, even if just for a moment.” \nFrom profoundly intimate to explosively cathartic moments — Faetooth’s latest offering features their distinctive blend of ethereal clean and roaring harsh vocals\, fuzzy guitars\, and pounding rhythms. Coming off of 2022’s Remnants of the Vessel\, the trio continues to explore sounds ranging from gliding to grinding\, from the rhythmic grunge of “Death of Day\,” to the bittersweet melodies of “October.” While embracing a newly softened\, more intimate tone\, Faetooth releases even more emotional rawness. Themes of loss\, self-pity\, personal relationships\, and more find a focus in singles like “Hole\,” and “White Noise.” This new intimate balance doesn’t dilute their palpable intensity; rather reframing it\, offering listeners a haunting yet delicate atmosphere layered with entrancing textures that build up into eruptive climaxes. \nLike the ancient myth of the minotaur in the labyrinth\, at its core\, Labyrinthine is a deeply personal\, shrouded\, monster of an album; It is a winding\, toilful\, maze to a tender center not quite prevalent yet in Faetooth’s mystical and metaphorical universe.  \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

In 2019\, this culminated in All My People\, a self-released LP steepedin reverb\, nostalgia and a yearning for home that won praise from discerning pressand listeners alike.It was upon returning to Connemara\, in a house near where she was raisedoverlooking one of the country’s largest lakes\, Lough Corrib\, that work commenced onthe songs that would eventually become Luster\, an album that illuminates Somerville’smusic anew\, pushing it forward in both sound and spirit. Where All My Peopleconveyed memories and melancholic longing with misty slowcore balladry\, these 12tracks show us an artist who’s more assured in the path her life has taken\, and theperson she’s become in the process. As she sings in ‘Trip’ – “I can see more clearlythan I could before. I know now what’s true for me.”Invigorated by her surroundings and emboldened by her community\, Somerville founda renewed sense of creative energy upon returning to home soil. It provided “fertileground” for free-flowing recording sessions in her small living room studio\, where shestitched together demos that were then fleshed out with friends and collaborators\, andlater mixed by the renowned New York-based engineer Gabriel Schuman.Contributors included producers J. Colleran\, Brendan Jenkinson and Diego Herrera(aka Suzanne Kraft)\, as well as Lankum’s Ian Lynch\, whose uilleann pipe drones youcan hear in ‘Violet’\, and Margie Jean Lewis\, whose violin bows reverberate throughthe ambient haze of ‘Flutter’. Sessions with musicians Henry Earnest and FinnCarraher McDonald (aka Nashpaints) helped “tie it all together”\, while contributionsfrom friends Roisin Berkley and Olan Monk enshrined the companionship they’veshared since Somerville returned to Connemara.Listeners have had a window into Somerville’s world every Monday and Tuesdaymorning since 2021 via her beloved Early Bird Show on NTS Radio\, where her dawnchorus selections range from blissful ambient and shoegaze to traditional Irish folksongs. Since signing to 4AD that same year\, Somerville has toured with her labelmates Dry Cleaning\, and released two covers for the label’s 40th anniversarycelebrations – taking on Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Kinky Love’ and Air Miami’s ‘Sea Bird’. Withthe release of Luster\, she has signaled the arrival of a new era that will see her playaround the world in 2025 accompanied by a live band. Rest assured though\, no matterwhere Somerville goes\, she’ll take a piece of home with her – a living\, breathing\,timeless essence you can sense in every note\, as clear as the air by the Corrib.Maria Somerville – Luster4AD 0755 | 25 April 2025 \n“There’s not a duff moment here – Luster isn’t just one of the best pop albums of the year\, it’s the bestthing we’ve heard from 4AD in years.” Boomkat“Through a dense mist of shoegaze\, post-punk\, and ambient electronics\, Somerville presents adreamworld that is both mythic and real\, a wild and ancient landscape in which her own figure is justbarely perceptible.” Pitchfork (Best New Music\, 8.5/10)“[Luster] feels like a representation of the expansive beauty of solitude\, and the beautiful chaos thatcan be found in quiet moments: a symphony of small ideas rendered in the colours of a sunset.”The Guardian ****“One of Ireland’s most vital young voices.” Bandcamp “A soulful take on post-punk\, built out of austere guitar strums\, ambient atmosphere and understatedvocals that feel as if they could get lost in the breeze.” Crack Magazine “Pop\, trad and electronica are fused into gripping new contortions by the Connemara-born artist.”Irish Times \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

Tickets on sale now. \nThere’s a line in the E.E. Cummings poem ‘Somewhere I Have Never Travelled\, Gladly Beyond’ which goes ‘No one\, not even the rain\, has such small hands’ which I paraphrased to ‘Nothing can wash this away\, not even the rain’ –– I’ve always loved that imagery and intrigue… I’ve never been a realist\, the magic and mystery is where my heart lies and where my mind wonders…” John Bramwell –– 2026 \nAs the singer in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014\, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s The Sky At Night\, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s Let It All In\, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014. \nNow\, as a solo artist\, Bramwell travels a very different path\, a path that criss-crosses the length and breadth of the UK with a humble agenda of taking his heartwarming songs to the stage and enjoying another moment in time with his devoted fans. \nThe stunning 2023 sophomore solo album\, The Light Fantastic was an almost complete u-turn from the I Am Kloot outlook they were known for. Darker clouds banished and in replacement strings\, four-part harmonies [a warming development\, since Kloot never had any backing vocals] and a dozen gloriously exhilarating\, beautifully crafted and observed songs about life\, humanity\, the universe and everything. As John put it\, “It’s been great to find the joy of making music once again. These are the most uplifting songs of my career.” \nThe album received unanimous praise from the UK press but it is the all-encapsulating live show where Bramwell conjures up his true magic as songwriter and performer. Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from Kloot and in the last three years has visited almost every parish in England\, Scotland and Wales to be met with halls\, theatres\, arts centres\, churches\, festival tents and folk clubs full with his eager fans waiting to see which direction Bramwell will take the mood of the night – the enriched\, wildly playful inter-song banter is so good\, a stand up comedy tour has been contemplated. \nBramwell’s razor sharp wit\, on the line and refreshingly true [and often hilarious] observations and instantly recognisible haunting vocal channeled through some of the most honest and direct songwriting of our times has seen Bramwell championed in rave reviews\, time after time. Most recently\, God Is In The TV celebrated John’s 2025 Beautiful Days performance as the highlight of the weekend. \nPraise for The Light Fantastic \n‘The regular harmonising with his cast of supporting musicians is especially beautiful’ CLASH \n‘Wonderfully grown-up pop music delivered by an adept songwriter’ – 4* MOJO \n‘This is hazy music\, with purpose\, and very pretty with it.’ – 4* The Times \n‘A splendid solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies’ – UNCUT \n‘A unique voice both literally and metaphorically’ – Lauren Laverne \n‘Bramwell’s new songs are spellbinding’ – The Guardian \n‘My favourite songwriter of all time’ – Cate Blanchett \n‘The UK’s finest export’ – New York Times. \nLISTEN NOW \n\n\n\nALL SHOWS

Tickets on sale now. \nThere’s a line in the E.E. Cummings poem ‘Somewhere I Have Never Travelled\, Gladly Beyond’ which goes ‘No one\, not even the rain\, has such small hands’ which I paraphrased to ‘Nothing can wash this away\, not even the rain’ –– I’ve always loved that imagery and intrigue… I’ve never been a realist\, the magic and mystery is where my heart lies and where my mind wonders…” John Bramwell –– 2026 \nAs the singer in I Am Kloot from 1999 to 2014\, John Bramwell achieved a Mercury Prize nomination for 2010’s The Sky At Night\, a Top 10 chart position for 2013’s Let It All In\, numerous UK and European tours and a triumphant farewell at the Queen Elizabeth Hall with an orchestra in 2014. \nNow\, as a solo artist\, Bramwell travels a very different path\, a path that criss-crosses the length and breadth of the UK with a humble agenda of taking his heartwarming songs to the stage and enjoying another moment in time with his devoted fans. \nThe stunning 2023 sophomore solo album\, The Light Fantastic was an almost complete u-turn from the I Am Kloot outlook they were known for. Darker clouds banished and in replacement strings\, four-part harmonies [a warming development\, since Kloot never had any backing vocals] and a dozen gloriously exhilarating\, beautifully crafted and observed songs about life\, humanity\, the universe and everything. As John put it\, “It’s been great to find the joy of making music once again. These are the most uplifting songs of my career.” \nThe album received unanimous praise from the UK press but it is the all-encapsulating live show where Bramwell conjures up his true magic as songwriter and performer. Bramwell has been on a never-ending rolling adventure since his workings away from Kloot and in the last three years has visited almost every parish in England\, Scotland and Wales to be met with halls\, theatres\, arts centres\, churches\, festival tents and folk clubs full with his eager fans waiting to see which direction Bramwell will take the mood of the night – the enriched\, wildly playful inter-song banter is so good\, a stand up comedy tour has been contemplated. \nBramwell’s razor sharp wit\, on the line and refreshingly true [and often hilarious] observations and instantly recognisible haunting vocal channeled through some of the most honest and direct songwriting of our times has seen Bramwell championed in rave reviews\, time after time. Most recently\, God Is In The TV celebrated John’s 2025 Beautiful Days performance as the highlight of the weekend. \nPraise for The Light Fantastic \n‘The regular harmonising with his cast of supporting musicians is especially beautiful’ CLASH \n‘Wonderfully grown-up pop music delivered by an adept songwriter’ – 4* MOJO \n‘This is hazy music\, with purpose\, and very pretty with it.’ – 4* The Times \n‘A splendid solo set of sumptuous vocal harmonies’ – UNCUT \n‘A unique voice both literally and metaphorically’ – Lauren Laverne \n‘Bramwell’s new songs are spellbinding’ – The Guardian \n‘My favourite songwriter of all time’ – Cate Blanchett \n‘The UK’s finest export’ – New York Times. \nLISTEN NOW \n\n\n\nALL SHOWS

This isn’t just a sonically daring\, massive swing of a rock album\, it’s also a very human document of being at your worst when you should be on top of the world – an absurdist guide to the intersection of self-destruction and self-belief. \n“I’m well aware that being this vulnerable turns my personal trauma into a marketing hook for this album\,” Shelton says. “But I’m fine with it\, if not provoking it. Over the past couple years\, as I spoke about addiction from the perspective of someone affected by it\, I became the one struggling with it. There’s a farcical logic to entering a situation\, fully knowing the consequences\, and doing it anyway–but that’s where my head was when I started leaning on drinking.” Militarie Gun’s 2023 debut album\, Life Under The Gun was centered around lifelong cycles of hurt\, with the singer looking back at growing up with family members struggling with addiction\, and while God Save The Gun is still tethered to that history\, this time\, he’s not the witness—he’s the protagonist. It wasn’t until the band was scheduled to enter the studio in early 2025 that Shelton realized he was the one who needed to hear God Save The Gun’s message. “I thought I was playing a character\, but it was becoming my reality\,” he explains. “Right before recording\, it hit me that I was really losing control and needed to do something about it. I looked at the record as a whole and could see that it was a note to myself – when I read back those lyrics\, I could clearly see they’re saying ‘yeah man\, you’re fucking up.’” \nDespite all of the inner turmoil leading to God Save The Gun\, Shelton and his bandmates – guitarists William Acuña and Kevin Kiley\, bassist Waylon Trim\, and drummer David Stalsworth – more than rose to the challenge of following up Militarie Gun’s acclaimed debut. Stalsworth\, Trim\, and Kiley all joined during Life Under The Gun’s extensive touring cycle after a series of member shakeups that would hobble most bands\, but only made Militarie Gun stronger. “It took us a long time to find the right people to be in this band but it feels like all the pieces have finally fallen into place\,” Shelton says. “It’s like we’ve had a fast car for a while but we just now figured out how to drive it. We wrote for three years consistently because our intention was to make a classic record—full stop. The songs need to be as emotional as possible but the music needs to fully hit too. Big ideas need big songs.” \nGod Save The Gun certainly lives up to that credo\, and to do it\, the band recruited a village of new and old collaborators. Shelton continued his creative relationship with songsmith Phillip Odom\, co-wrote with longtime conspirator and frequent harmonizer James Goodson of Dazy\, and newly tapped Nick Panella of MSPAINT\, among others. “Phil really taught me how to sing\, he knows my voice better than anyone\,” says Shelton. “Or sometimes it’s about bringing in a fresh perspective – I call someone like James or Nick because those guys write songs in a totally different way than I do.” That outside view also came from producer / engineer Riley MacIntyre (Adele\, Arlo Parks\, The Kills)\, who was chosen not only to make the songs sound huge\, but also to access the sentiments behind them. “We went with Riley because he’s the emotional producer\,” Shelton says. “We wanted someone who locked in with what the songs were about\, not just how they sounded. And he was so dedicated – we would do 14-hour days and Riley would be there an hour before me and an hour after I left.” God Save The Gun does indeed feel massive\, but it’s the sound of real people working together to make something bigger than themselves–not computer-replaced perfectionism. And its musical scope is matched by its lyrical depths. \nThe album’s cover art depicts Shelton as a cult leader\, subverting the idea of a charismatic rock n’ roll messiah: the vocalist is selling salvation when he’s the one in need\, a sly jab at the commodification of art and self-help. “The album has a pretty defined arc\,” Shelton explains. “Sometimes I think people like me more when I’m at my worst and the first few songs are about seeking external validation – needing people or drugs or alcohol to provide your value\, anything but yourself. Then it’s songs that reflect on what I went through when I was younger and coming away with the wrong conclusions. It’s kind of ridiculous\, me thinking ‘I saw my mom attempt homicide\, so it’s ok for me to get out of control as long as it’s less than that.’ After that the album gets manic. Then it’s the hard comedown after the episode\, where the stakes get very real.” \nGod Save The Gun’s begins with “Pt II\,” a spoken word intro where Shelton sets the tone\, admitting “things have not been great…” before kicking into the pissed-off pogo of “B A D I D E A.” The record then surges forward with “Fill Me With Paint” and “Throw Me Away\,” two gigantic alt-rock barnburners that sound more confident than ever despite lyrics of biting self-doubt and paranoia. It’s a magic trick that Militarie Gun performs throughout the record: hyper-energetic songwriting that makes the heavy lyrical content hit even harder. “God Owes Me Money” follows\, a defiant synth-flecked rocker that just might be the jewel of the record and ties Shelton’s past to his present. “The idea of god or the universe owing you something because of the bad hand you’ve been dealt is just a brash idea that I really connect to\,” he says. “It’s my right to redefine my pain and make it pay me.” Next on the hazy acoustic ballad “Daydream” Shelton begins to subconsciously realize he might have a problem\, but things get messier and more complicated from there as the narrative and the music jackknife through turbulence. “I was trying to make an album with so much chaos in my life and in my head\,” Shelton says. “A break-up\, crazy touring\, family trouble from the past\, family trouble from now… It’s hard for me not to just lean into the absurdity of it all sometimes\, like if you’re not laughing you’re crying.” God Save The Gun swings from the punk stomp of “Maybe I’ll Burn My Life Down\,” to the Killing Joke sampling rave up of “Kick\,” to the chiming jangle pop of “Laugh At Me\,” tackling nihilistic abandon\, anger\, and love–all that mania channels into the record’s harrowing next chapter. \n“I’m a depressed person and so much of this has really just been about trying to find a distraction from that\,” Shelton says plainly. “At the end of the day it’s not appropriate for me to talk about a lot of the things I see in my brain – it would bum people out – so the only place I have for this stuff is in these songs.” Shelton puts that idea to the test with “I Won’t Murder Your Friend\,” an agonizing portrayal of suicidal ideation that’s very intentionally drained of any possible romanticization. “I grew up hearing songs that glorified suicide and I wanted to write a song that de-glorified it\,” he explains. “I heard David Choe talking about Anthony Bourdain with that perspective – that suicide doesn’t make you the glorious martyr\, you’re the selfish murderer and your own life isn’t the only casualty – it really stuck with me and he let us put that audio into the track.” Thankfully God Save The Gun stops short of the abyss\, with Shelton finding hope by looking outside himself. “The album gets more empathetic\,” Shelton says. “It becomes about realizing you’ve been missing that other people are struggling because you’re so wrapped up in your own problems.” \nThat glimmer of hope carries into God Save The Gun’s climactic title track\, a song that tries to reject the cycle of bad choices and bad results. If reveling in self-destruction didn’t work then maybe only the hardest option is left: change. “Your people love you\, they don’t let it show / and I know you’re out of control\,” Shelton howls over top of churning bass and tremolo guitars\, singing each verse to the various characters that populate the song’s unhinged existential party-gone-wrong. Suzy\, Martin\, Blaine\, Lucy\, Liam – Shelton rattles off the names with increasing desperation\, as if he’s trying to direct the lines to anyone but himself. “It’s me speaking to other people\, but I was the person who needed to hear what I was saying the most\,” he admits. “You shouldn’t have to wait until your life is completely destroyed to try to improve it\, and I don’t want to lose what I’ve worked for because I have a drinking problem.” The song’s twisting structure hurls the listener through exhilarating dynamic shifts before abruptly cutting to just bass and vocals for its final lines: “If you want to keep your life\, you gotta let it go\,” Shelton sings\, his voice resolute. God can’t save The Gun but he can do it himself.   \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS

SUMMARY:GAVIN FRIDAY
DESCRIPTION:FOGGY NOTIONS PRESENTS\nGAVIN FRIDAY\nDOLAN’S LIMERICK\n18TH FEBRUARY\n					\n									DOLAN’S TICKETS\n					\n					\n									TICKETMASTER\n					\n\n	\n	Add to calendar	\n		\n	\n \n\n\n	Google Calendar\n\n\n	iCalendar\n\n\n	Outlook 365\n\n\n	Outlook Live\n\n\n																														 \nFoggy Notions is proud to present the iconic Gavin Friday live in 2026 as part of the Ecce Homo Live Spring 2026 tour. Tickets on sale now. \nFriday will perform a hometown show at Dublin’s Vicar Street on Thursday 12th March and a show in Limerick at Dolan’s Warehouse on Wednesday 18th February. \nFriday’s sold-out performance at Vicar Street in April 2025 marked a triumphant homecoming after many years and was met with unanimous critical acclaim. \n“reminded us of his status as a master showman.” – Irish Examiner \n“raises the roof\, bar and gold standard to a transfixed Vicar Street.” – Hot Press \nOn the subject of his return to the live stage Friday remarked\, “Performing ‘live’ is probably the place I feel most comfortable with myself – it’s been an age and I cannot wait to get back on stage especially now that you’ve heard Ecce Homo – ‘live’ you can to see it\, smell it and let it kiss you”. \nTickets go on general sale on Friday 10th October at 10:00 with exclusive presale access for gavinfriday.com subscribers from Wednesday 8th October at 10:00. \nECCE HOMO: \nIn the red-walled library of Gavin Friday’s home in downtown Dublin\, a sacred heart hangs from the white ceiling. The glass totem was a housewarming gift when Friday returned to the city’s centre about two years ago; it presides there like a reminder of his past and a lure yet toward his future. \nFriday\, now 65\, began to question Catholicism more than a half-century ago\, when he wondered why the teachers in his strict Catholic school\, so-called servants of God\, would beat him and his classmates. This was just before he witnessed the rise of glam and punk\, before he saw Joy Division for the first time or snuck across the Irish Sea to catch David Bowie in London. This\, too\, was just before he started Virgin Prunes\, his canonically transgressive post-punk band that scrambled perceptions of genre and gender. And this was just before the acts of rebellion and interrogation that have crafted his singular career as a singer\, composer\, visual artist\, and actor merged into an astonishingly creative life. But there are some symbols and some histories you can’t outrun—or really don’t want to. “Maybe I haven’t grown up\,” he quips beneath the sacred heart\, winking. “Or maybe I am growing up.” \nThat toggle and tension animate Ecce Homo\, Friday’s first album in 13 years and an engrossing culmination of the life he has lived and the life he is now determined to make for himself. Driven alternately by thundering electronics that recall the power of the Prunes and exquisite acoustics that reflect the beauty of his most recent solo work and soundtracks\, Ecce Homo is an ecstatic and unbound expression of anger and independence\, of severing oneself from stereotypes of what you’re supposed to be while also acknowledging that our hardest battles are often our collective ones. There are love songs and fight songs\, reflections on loss and reveries of nostalgia\, anthems for solidarity and excoriations of the powerful. Friday thinks it’s the most honest album he’s ever made; it is also his most riveting. \nEcce Homo began more than a decade ago with a surprise email from Dave Ball\, the Soft Cell cofounder who produced Virgin Prunes 40 years ago. They hadn’t seen each other during that long span\, but Ball asked if Friday wanted to conspire on a cover of Suicide’s “Ghost Rider” for Alan Vega’s 70th birthday. For several years\, they bounced ideas for other songs back and forth via email until Friday finally visited him in London for a series of studio sessions. They wrote the bulk of Ecce Homo’s music together\, their interpersonal dynamic resulting in tracks that moved freely between disparate emotional ends. \nFriday\, though\, wanted to make it all bigger\, to drape the songs in the finery and grandeur he’d indulged with his soundtrack work. He did that back in Dublin with a cast of familiar collaborators including Michael Heffernan\, as he also cared for his ailing mother\, then suffering the final stages of Alzheimer’s. Enraged by the rise of international strongmen but inspired by a long\, loving\, and stable relationship with another man after a prolonged divorce\, Friday built Ecce Homo as a monument of and to his own emotions. In early 2020\, he was ready to mix it when Covid-19 arrived. He put it down for two years\, vowing to revisit it only when he could make a little more sense of the world. His mother died\, as did Hal Willner\, one of his closest collaborators\, and one of his two beloved dogs\, Ralf. Hard seasons\, all around. \nThat difficult gap seemed to supercharge Ecce Homo\, enhancing not only its sense of deserved indignation but also amplifying the tenderness and love that undergird so many of these songs. In the former category\, the title track is a pulsing\, pulverising menace\, its streaks of florid noise and walls of hard-edged rhythms squaring up against enemies of inclusion and liberty. He throws the words of Pontius Pilate back at our persecutors\, promising to “Fight fire with fire/We can walk on water” over warped gospel harmonies. “Lamento” summons similar betrayal from the personal rather than political vantage\, Friday’s yearning voice rising to meet the little symphony that slowly circles beneath the track’s distant sequencers and acoustic guitars. He sings his late mother’s name here\, Anne Storey\, and samples her voice during “Amaranthus (Love Lies Bleeding)\,” a hardcore electro browbeater that aims to dance the hardship away. Hurt comes from every side here\, in every possible shape. \nBut the real core of Ecce Homo is a reaction rooted in hope and love\, in seeing the struggles of the past and the possibilities of the future through the same unified gaze. Dedicated to longtime friends Bono and Guggi\, and their youthful posse Lypton Village\, the gorgeous and wistful “When the World Was Young” feels both like a sad goodbye to the past and a cheery hello for the kids who can remake the world right now. “Lady Esquire” celebrates teenage indiscretion\, to watching buildings dance after getting high on shoe polish. “The Church of Love” shimmies away from the conservative and Catholic mores of old Ireland\, relishing in rejection of hierarchies and sexual strictures. “Happiness is heaven\,” Friday sings\, his own personal Bacchus. “And heaven is at our feet.” \nThe two most affecting songs might be about the loves of his current life. Opener “Lovesubzero” slowly rises from coruscant symphonic splendour to an unapologetic electronic ode to the partner who has helped set him free and find himself. It is an anthem of love\, a dark disco tribute to the brilliance of romance and partnership. And then there is “The Best Boys in Dublin\,” an unguarded paean to his pups\, Ralfie and Stan the Man\, who escorted him to many of these sessions. It is a short little tune\, acoustic guitar and piano ensconced inside lush strings. Still\, it is a stirring testament to finding comfort and strength wherever we can\, to enduring in whatever way we must. \nWhen Friday was a teenager\, alienated from the Catholic church and looking for meaning\, music became his godsend\, his lifeline\, his revelation. Or\, as he calls it\, “the release where I could bleed publicly.” He surmises it saved his life. Though it is rooted in so much loss\, Ecce Homo advances that story of survival\, of how we are always looking for what can ferry us into the next phase of our life. It is neither a happy album nor a tragic one; it is\, instead\, a bracingly honest thing\, staring at both sides of a life and testifying to how it has been and how it may yet be. \nLISTEN NOW \n					\n		\n					\n									ALL SHOWS
