PLAYING THE MAGNETIC FIELD
"Most electro acts these days are mining the 80s for their synth pop poses, but Irish duo Tiny Magnetic Pets are delving further back along the Autobahn with their krautrock-inspired compositions. Sean Quinn and Paula Gilmer have just completed their debut album ‘Return Of The Tiny Magnetic Pets’ and the official launch is in Whelan’s in Dublin on May 7th.
Composed entirely on vintage analogue Moogs, Mellotron and Vox organs, the ambitious album is already being compared with the likes of STEREOLAB, KRAFTWERK and AIR.
Stunning
All instrumentation and vocals were recorded live, so expect a stunning performance from the duo at the album launch - and they’re playing the Roisin Dubh in Galway this Friday, May 1st, with HALFSET.
The debut album is released on May 22nd, but if you can’t wait, check them out live or have a sneak MySpace peek".
- THE STAR 29th April
"Paula Gilmer & Seán Quinn’s 12 track collection blends influences such as Eno, Krautrock, Goldfrapp & Massive Attack into a refreshingly fragile soundtrack for summer 2009.
The sense of musical adventure combined with Gilmer’s tender vocal delivery on tracks such as the infectious single “Girl In A White Dress” make this a definite contender for the Irish album of 2009".
- Mark Kavanagh: HOT PRESS
"Paula Gilmer and Sean Quinn’s new rig-out combines Krautrock grooves, 1970s electronica and oddball pop hooks".
- Jim Carroll: IRISH TIMES
Neosupervital
If you fancy a spot of impromptu James Brownesque break dancing peppered with some beatboxing and recorder playing being proffered by a sharp suited one man electro band - Mr. Neosupervital was definitely honed for your pleasure. You may recognise Tim O'Donovan from playing drums in such bands as Bell X1 and Settler but what he offers as Neosupervital is entirely different. It all started one fine morning nigh on 6 years ago when he acquired his next-door neighbour's discarded guitar (ahem actually off his dustbin) and started composing. He then progressed from the acoustic to a pc, a drum box and a synth guitar. Think the Dandy Warhols fused with electronic beats, melodic pop, provoking lyrics more than imbued with irony, not to mention a stunning vocal range, and you're somewhere on the right track. If none of that tickles your proverbial fancy you should go see him for the laser light show kindly displayed by his glasses - mesmerising. http://www.myspace.com/neosupervital
