Whelans, Wexford St. Dublin.

The new ESTEL album "A Guide in time Of Great Danger" is available from all good record shops around the country and straight from the Little Plastic Tapes & Estel websites [for €10]:

About the album:
"Featuring an inventive assortment of tracks, each wearing its diverse influences proudly, ranging from no-wave, post-punk, krautrock to horror soundtracks. 11 intricate pathways of carefully constructed labyrinths of keyboards/synths, electronics, bass and guitar, coupled with elaborate and pounding drum beats, all fusing together perfectly, while at the same time constantly changing allegiance between a hard-core post-punk aesthetic and a deep-rooted fragility, Estel effortlessly manage to offer both, with more style and substance than most. Guest vocals from Adrian Crowley [most famous for his work with Steve Albini] and Hugh Holmes of the Dublin no-wave band the Waltons. The album links together the sounds of Trans Am, Factory Records, early Sonic Youth, PiL and much much more..."

and from the Examiner:
"Estel have created a stylish and abrasive spectrum of art-rock, punk and wiry new wave sounds with an armoury of organs, pianos, guitars, effects, theremin and drums. Their new album, A Guide in Time of Great Danger, leaps way beyond anything they've done before.
It's an album that is constantly evolving, changing, never resting in one particular tempo or sound for too long. You almost get the sense that Estel are playing live inside your CD player every time you press play..."
