AILBHE REDDY

A year ago, Dublin singer-songwriter Ailbhe Reddy was supposed to be touring in America with Paul Weller. Covid put paid to that so, instead, she released what she refers to as her ‘journey to self-acceptance’ i.e. her debut album Personal History

THUMPER

With their dynamic ultra-intensive sense of energy, this Dublin 6-piece offer bubblegum psyche-grunge through a wall of sonic death. Or something…

NEALO

He’s a rapper cut from a different cloth. Taking his cues from everything from jazz rap to r’n’b, his lyrics blend deeply-rooted personal philosophies with classic Dublinisms, in a manner both emotive and compelling. All of this floats on a bed of jazz-infused, smooth instrumentals

AUTRE MONDE

The Imaginary Museum was a super indie-pop album release for 2020 – melodious, obscure, menacing and enthralling – and, maybe, unlike any other Irish album release you can think of. If sonically subverting, eccentric off-kilter pop is your thing, Autre Monde is for you

ELAINE MAI

Producer Elaine Mai from Mayo is based in Dublin and ten years ago she. was playing with Galway band Go Panda Go. At the end of ’21 she released her debut solo album with the help of a host of well-known collaborators. The album is called Home

WYVERN LINGO

This past year, Wyvern Lingo – a 3-piece from Bray in Co. Wicklow – released Awake You Lie, the follow-up from their debut album from three years ago. The 3-piece came together in Bray in Co. Wicklow in a teenage world of self-discovery soundtracked by the 60s/70s classic rock and singer-songwriter music collections of their parents and the 90s/00s r’n’b of their childhood
