LIMERICK band Bleeding Heart Pigeons will release their full length debut album ‘Is’ through Virgin EMI on January 15, 2016. The album will be available to download and stream and on limited edition double vinyl.
The three piece from West Limerick has self produced the collection of songs layered with heavy synths, feedback and delay. The album was mixed by David Wrench (Jamie XX, FKA Twigs and Everything Everything),and features the band’s latest single ‘Anything You Want.’
The Bleeding Heart Pigeons’ sound, a mix of dreamy indie rock and shoegaze-influenced fuzz has caught the attention and support of BBC6 Music, Clash Magazine, Q Magazine, Irish Times, Nialler9 and DIY among many others.
The album is a continuation of the recent Hallucination EP, a surreal journey that reaches its destination on the new album. From the opening track you are in the psychedelic world of Bleeding Heart Pigeons, hazy dreamlike harmonies coupled with a sonic rawness that blends the best elements of Interpol, Radiohead and Caribou.
Bleeding Heart Pigeons comprises Michéal Keating (vocals and guitar), Brendan McInerney (drums and backing vocals) and Cathal Histon (synthesisers, sampling and backing vocals).
The trio first met around eight years ago, but only recently left their teenage years behind.
Having signed a record deal whilst still in school and practising in a parent’s shed, it has taken time to complete the songs on this debut album.
Available from January 16, here is the full tracklisting:
1. Frozen; 2. O Happy, Happy, Happy; 3. Anything You Want; 4. They’re Cutting Down The Old Oak Tree; 5. In The Forest, I Feel Bizarrely More At Home; 6. Vapour; 7. A Hallucination; 8. Isn’t It Funny; 9. Sister; 10. Dancer; 11. Nausea;
12. Song With No Meaning.
A live date to launch the album in Dolan’s will be announced for January dolans.ie
