Episode 202: Ways of Seeing
Today on the podcast I am joined by James O'Donnell of Ways of Seeing to talk about the band's brand new second album, 'The Inheritance of Fear', which was released on the 10th of October. The album has been produced by Christian Best, mixed by Dan Fox and mastered by Jamie Hyland. Speaking about The Inheritance of Fear, lead singer James O'Donnell said: “This album explores the ways fear is passed down; through generations, through relationships, through the stories we tell ourselves. It looks at the psychological weight of inherited anxieties, the way past traumas shape our present, and how we either break free or become trapped in these cycles. It examines past memories and re-imagines the lives of those that may have influenced the people we are today. It was an exercise in self-discovery, unearthing all those skeletons….so to speak! Doireann Ní Ghríofa's “To Star the Dark” inspired many of the album’s themes, as did the surrealism of TS Eliot's “The Wasteland” and Samuel Beckett's “Waiting for Godot.” I'll be going through the album with James track by track and talking about the themes explored in each of the songs, the recording process, the new techniques used on the album and the stunning music video for the single, 'Idolise'.Ways of Seeing on BandcampWays of Seeing's websiteGlasseyed live at Sin E w/ Gunnera, Shallo & WhitethorrnSacred Noose live at Fibber Magees w/ Lymphodema, Their Last Stop & Ancient Malice Hosted on Acast.

Episode 201: Scustin
Today on the podcast I am joined by Joe and Wally of Dublin post-funk outfit, Scustin!I'll be chatting with the lads about their brand new debut album 'Confessions of a Pub Talker', which was released on September 19th.With 'Confessions Of A Pub Talker', Scustin flip the stereotype of Irish drinking culture on its head. Rather than depicting the pub as a site of excess, they portray it as a communal refuge, which is depicted through the characters and situations encountered by Larry, the bartender of the Pub the story takes place in. Through Larry, Scustin weave stories full of heart and humour, turning each track into a snapshot of life in the public house, complete with its messy, magical humanity.I'll be going through the album track by track with the guys, talking about the inspirations behind the stories and music, who is the character Larry, what it's like to drink cans in a field with Matt Damon, working with Richie Kennedy (who recorded and produced the album) and why you shouldn't put blackcurrant in a Guinness.Scustin have also recently just announced as support act for Inhaler on their latest tour and have a run of Irish shows in February. Tickets links for these shows are available in the band's Linktree!Scustin on Linktree Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
