The Very Most:
The Very Most are an indie pop band led by Jeremy Jensen and founded in 2002 in Boise, Idaho. Influenced by Camera Obscura, The Beach Boys, and the poppier side of Built to Spill, they were, until a year ago, the only indie-pop band in this Mountain West town of around 200,000 people. Naturally they were a little lonely. Thank goodness for ye olde internets, which has allowed them to make lasting, important connections with like-minded pop enthusiasts from around the world.


Their first record, Making the Case For Me, came in 2004. After their 2008 record Congratulations Forever, the band’s profile started to rise, including numerous appearances on compilations, being named the Boston Phoenix's "Best New Band in Idaho", and having their records licensed in the Philippines and Japan. In 2009 came the release of A Year With The Very Most on Dublin, Ireland label Indiecater Records. A Year With... is a compilation of four EPs that were recorded in 2009 and themed after the seasons of the year. In December 2009, the band were lucky enough to be able to make the trip to Ireland and the UK to launch the album.


In 2010, toured the West Coast and released an EP, while in 2011, they're taking time off from playing to record and regroup. Look for a new full-length in 2012 as well as chances to see the band play live.

Sacred Animals:
Sacred Animals’ native Wexford to Dublin along the coast is a straight road, but veer a few miles off it and you find yourself up in the mountains. From the Sally Gap you can look out across Lough Tay hundreds of metres below and see the wind carving its way through the hills. “The energy is incredible – so primal. You realise life is pretty fleeting. But that’s kind of precious in a weird way.”


And the music’s precious too. It draws on the rich tapestry of styles and sounds that make this such a compelling time to make music but also draws from those hidden places – Darragh’s is not a completely clear vision of what the music is and might become. “It’s about everything that makes artists we love, people like Thom Yorke, Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear) create and then go back and explore. I’ve written songs for years and have always loved doing it. But when the songs start coming out like this, from somewhere I couldn’t always reach, that’s something really exciting.”


Sacred Animals is about just that. Letting the music speak and breathe, respecting its nature.


It’s an unusual light across the Wicklow mountains in the May dusk, purple and orange, and it’s got Darragh thinking. “I’m not so sure we have things figured out at all. That’s what happens when you stop and stare out across a place like this.” Sacred Animals look ahead and the road winds off through the hills and into the distance.


Their first EP, ‘Welcome Home’ will be available as a download and physical handmade release on 1st October 2010 from www.delphilabel.com

Hello Moon:
Hello Moon are Alan, Eamon, Amanda and Alan. We formed in Dublin, Ireland in January 2010 and with a love of chiming, jangly pop songs we began to write a collection of our own. Playing regularly in Dublin and with a handful of shows around Ireland we have been lucky and thrilled to have opened for such bands as Teenage Fanclub, Cloud Control and Lower Dens. In June 2011 we contributed our song ‘Barefoot’ to the Irish, charmingly bockety, indie collective Popical Island Compilation#2. Our very first album, Only Count the Sunny Hours will be available on Any Other City Records from 9th September 2011.
