Paddy Mulcahy is a Montreal based composer/producer from Limerick City, Ireland. His latest single ‘Krieks’ is out now taken from the From Water EP,  out on May 5 via Phases Records. In ‘Krieks’, the voice of Qristina Brooke is sampled from a cassette loop.  Much of the music comes from various stages of experimentation with analogue equipment. Inspired by minimalism and human interaction, From Water EP is an emotional journey, coloured by the use of electronic and acoustic instruments.

The first single, a synthesizer-solo 'You Could Walk Across The Shannon' was written by the Irish composer in his apartment overlooking the river Shannon in Limerick City. It was released in March and premiered on DJ Mag. Reminiscent of Tangerine Dream or other Berlin School artists, the track opens with enigmatic yet vibrant synthesizer patterns that draw the listener in. Sequences in C Minor float around the aural stratosphere, building to a crescendo where the bass comes in.

"'You Could Walk Across The Shannon' is about overcoming the impossible. It's a musical representation of being an underdog in a vicious race; it's the rare ability to walk across a riverbed at low-tide. It is very much about nature and people”. ‘Glasgow’ was written and recorded in solitude and while there is an underlying melancholy in the EP, there are uplifting moments too. The texture between the synthesizers in ‘Six Red Pipes’ create a warm aural blanket that provide solace in this breathtaking new material.

Cambridge Analytica… Data farming… The Information Age… We’re all caught in an ‘Algorithm Prison’. The new track from London’s most exciting new band Sisteray is another belting, intelligent, and timely statement from the four-piece – out through another important London upstart, Vallance Records, this April.

If last year’s 15 Minutes EP from the group gave us a glimpse of what these guys are capable of, then their new material shows that promise being fulfilled, and then some. ‘Algorithm Prison’ is a precursor to their best work yet, set to follow in EP form later this May. “We ain’t your target market” howls singer Niall Rowan as they rail against the digital world we’re in, what we’ve become, what we’re doing with it. Oh, and it even features Pete Townshend’s own guitar, because of course it does, that’s how these guys roll.

Sisteray release ‘Algorithm Prison’ through Vallance Records this April, with a new EP set to swiftly follow in late spring. The band also have a series of live dates coming up, including Camden Rocks, The Great Escape Festival, and a headline show at London’s 100 Club later in the year.
