Released February 01, 2022
This album was written and arranged between November 2020 and April 2021 by the members of SubSounds Music Collective. Due to Covid-19 restrictions it was mostly recorded in bedrooms and home studios, with extra recording done in CONTACT Studio in Rua Red Arts Centre in Tallaght in late March and early April. The young musicians aged 14-18 years-old work from October to April writing, arranging, recording and performing new material. Each year they release singles, EPs, and an album of new music. These songs were created in songwriting sessions, rehearsals and workshops that took place online and, for one glorious week in December, in Rua Red.
This is the most musically diverse record we've ever produced. Whatever you like listening to you'll find it in here. From the 80s power ballad energy of 'At the Dinner Table' by Louise Sharkey to the death metal intensity of 'Void' by Daire McCann. There's Anthony Dunne's jazz instrumental 'I'll Buy That, Sir' followed by the acoustic indie pop of 'Oh Baby' by Eimear O'Neill; the ethereal 'Castles', the slick 'Smoke & Mirrors, and the electronic darkness of 'Tear-stained Model'.This is an album that befits the times. The young musicians seem to have unconsciously distilled their deepest feelings and experiences of our current pandemic reality to produce an album that is joyous and sombre by turns.
Recorded in numerous bedrooms around South Dublin County & Contact Studio.
Engineered by Hugh O'Dwyer, Colin Morris, and Domhnaill Corrigan in CONTACT Studio.
Produced by the SubSounds mentor team: Lyndsey Lawlor, Elton Mullally, Colin Morris, Hugh O'Dwyer, Rob Davis, Gerry Horan, Ciara Dalton, Karl McCrone, Amy Naessens & Martin Moran.
Mixed by Colin Morris, Hugh O'Dwyer, Domhnaill Corrigan, Karl McCrone and Alan Hurley.
Mastered by Hugh O'Dwyer.
The collective is a partnership between Alternative Entertainments, Music Generation South Dublin and South Dublin County Council Arts Office.
