An Taobh Tuathail Vol II

LAUNCH SHOWS



An Taobh Tuathail Vol II is due for release on Psychonavigation Records in mid-August. There will be four launch parties on the first four Fridays of the month in Dublin, Galway, Cork & Limerick.



Somadrone, who has a tune featured on the CD will play at the Galway launch. Their excellent third EP Of Pattern & Purpose was released on Lazybird last year.



The exuberant R.S.A.G (Rarely Seen Above Ground) from Kilkenny – a one man band soaking up influences as diverse as Joy Division & Talking Heads, with the visual impact of Gorillaz - will perform at all of the shows, while Dublin’s Alphamono, with echoes of Daft Punk & Air, will be playing at all but one of the parties.



The Galway show from Róisín Dubh will be broadcast live on Anocht FM/RTE RnaG on Friday 8th August, from 11pm – 1am.

PRAISE FOR AN TAOBH TUATHAIL VOL 1/ MOLADH DO AN TAOBH TUATHAIL VOL 1



“The record is a veritable goldmine of quiet, hitherto-unacknowledged gems, which really do merit greater exposure.”

- Hot Press review by Kilian Murphy 7.5/10





“As an introduction to one of the country's best alternative radio shows… An Taobh Tuathail Vol 1 is essentially flawless. Shivers down the spine guaranteed.”
- METRO Album Of The Week by Eamon De Paor





"… this show is one of the most important outlets for underground Irish artists and in particular those in the leftfield electronic genre, really beautiful from start to finish"

- Road Records


"Speaking of compilations, An Taobh Tuathail, one of the best music shows on the Irish airwaves, release a compilation on Psychonavigation, featuring the kind of music the show is lauded for championing."

- http://www.sineadgleeson.com



“Cian O'Ciobhain's compilation trawls the outer reaches of abstract electronica, with the string-soaked neo-classical beauty of OST, Fug and Phelan Sheppard's contributions standing out.”
- Richard Brophy, Hot Press



“While the 12 tracks collected together on this disc stick close to the lower BPMs, one of the first things that impresses is the sheer diversity of approach displayed by the featured artists, no doubt a reflection of Ciobhain’s own eclectic programming selections. An Taobh Tuathail Volume 1 certainly provides a suitably wide-ranging intro to the more downbeat end of Ciobhain’s radio sets that also manages to expose the work of a number of lesser-known Irish artists alongside a slew of more immediately recognisable names.”
