Hard Won, Hardwired
Settler

November 2003

Hard Won, Hardwired is the second album by Dublin band Settler. It is available now from Tower Records, Dublin, Road Records, Fade Street, Dublin, or online from www.roadrecs.com.

Following the release and critical acclaim of the first album, Life Upstream, in January 2003, the band decided to immediately start writing and recording again. All songs were recorded and mixed by Andrew “Asteroid” Lyster in Lunar Sonics studios, Dalkey.

Featuring songs about saliva, depression, violence, middle-class anxiety, love, hate and other light hearted subjects, Hard Won, Hardwired is a typically paranoid-cheerful affair from this Dublin five-piece, and marks a move from previous folkish musical leanings into other not-so-folkish musical leanings. It's all about the leanings - though it still dances around the alt country campfire occasionally, it also courts the elusive lady melody and her noisy indie chambermaids.

Settler are Derek McCormack, Wil McDermott, Fiona O’Connor, Tim O’Donovan and Michael Stevens. A debut EP, Settler, was released on Mango Music in 2001, followed by Life Upstream on Fairview House Recordings in 2003.

Yeah, I was, like, well impressed with the cover.

The music is cack, but the graphics...sweet....retro like...well done panty.




No, really, the music is terrific. But they don't need to be told this.


mm y'know snaky, I find the album is a real grower.... maybe it's just me...

It's a grower alright.
a number of people who've heard it agree.

Yes, Derek, your sense of irony is just tip-top today. Nice one.

Fucking deadly.

That would be "Write This Down", Mr. Egg, and it is the second track on the album which is available in all good record shops (and some rubbish ones too).
