Towards the end of 2024 The Devlins returned with their eagerly anticipated first full-length album in almost a decade, All The Days. The release, from one of Ireland’s most acclaimed rock bands, brought together the classic lineup of brothers Colin (vocals, guitar, piano) and Peter Devlin (bass), drummer Guy Rickarby and guitarist Mark Murphy, with producer Rob Kirwan (Hozier, PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode) at the helm. The latest collection highlights their intricate songwriting and tight rhythms, offering a refreshing sound for modern rock enthusiasts. Hot Press magazine called it “a superbly atmospheric return to form”. The release was supported by a sold-out Irish tour and set at All Together Now festival.
The band have captivated audiences worldwide with their cinema6c hits and magnetic live performances since their debut album. Drift was released in 1993 to critical acclaim, earning a four-star review in Rolling Stone. The title track of their 1997 follow-up album, Waiting, was used for the Six Feet Under soundtrack.

Maria Somerville announces details of her forthcoming second album and debut project on 4AD, Luster, due for release on 25 April.
In celebration of the announcement, Somerville has also shared the album’s second single, ‘Garden’, produced by Diego Herrera, aka Suzanne Kraft. The transportive track sinks her emotive siren-esque vocal stylings into a whirring, all-consuming merger of soaring feedback, airy percussion, and nostalgic guitar chords reminiscent of classic 4AD. Its release is also accompanied by a music video directed by Anna Heisterkamp.
Late last year, Somerville introduced Luster with her first new single in three years, ‘Projections’, a wistful and romantic shoegaze track drenched in longing via fuzzed-out bass and strummed guitar, and carried by Somerville’s hypnotic and tranquil vocal stylings. Both new tracks point toward the upcoming project’s haunting tranquillity and lush sonic backdrop.
By the time Irish musician Maria Somerville started writing Luster, her landmark label debut for 4AD, she had lived away from her native Connemara for quite some time. Having grown up amongst the wild, mountainous terrain of Galway’s rural west coast, she later relocated to Dublin, where she patiently developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth – a spellbinding sound world of gusting ambient electronics, ethereal guitar strums, sparse percussion, and hushed lyrical vignettes. In 2019, this culminated in All My People, a self-released LP steeped in reverb, nostalgia and a yearning for home that won praise from discerning press and listeners alike.
It was upon returning to Connemara, in a house near where she was raised overlooking one of the country’s largest lakes, Lough Corrib, that work commenced on the songs that would eventually become Luster, an album that illuminates Somerville’s music anew, pushing it forward in both sound and spirit. Where All My People conveyed memories and melancholic longing with misty slowcore balladry, these 12 tracks show us an artist who’s more assured in the path her life has taken, and the person she’s become in the process. As she sings in ‘Trip’ – “I can see more clearly than I could before. I know now wat's true for me.”
Invigorated by her surroundings and emboldened by her community, Somerville found a renewed sense of creative energy upon returning to home soil. It provided “fertile ground” for free-flowing recording sessions in her small living room studio, where she stitched together demos that were then fleshed out with friends and collaborators, and later mixed by the renowned New York-based engineer Gabriel Schuman. Contributors included producers J. Colleran, Brendan Jenkinson and Diego Herrera (aka Suzanne Kraft), as well as Lankum’s Ian Lynch, whose uilleann pipe drones you can hear in ‘Violet’, and Margie Jean Lewis, whose violin bows reverberate through the ambient haze of ‘Flutter’. Sessions with musicians Henry Earnest and Finn Carraher McDonald (aka Nashpaints) helped “tie it all together”, while contributions from friends Roisin Berkley and Olan Monk enshrined the companionship they’ve shared since Somerville returned to Connemara.

Welcome to the world of Sorry.

Comprised of Asha Lorenz, Louis O’Bryen, Campbell Baum, Marco Pini and Lincoln Barrett, Sorry have been creating groundbreaking music since they were teenagers and have become the favourite band of everyone’s favourite band.

The band has received praise from Dazed, The Guardian, Pitchfork and NME whilst also appearing on numerous BBC Radio 6 playlists and performing at all major festivals.
In 2024, the band returned with their new single “Waxwing”, a delightfully twisted track laced with a sense of foreboding, with towering synths that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on classic sci-fi soundtrack. The track received critical acclaim and points towards a bright future for the band in 2025 and beyond. Before then, they will be supporting Fontaines D.C. on their fully sold out tour of the UK and Ireland, giving crowds an early opportunity to hear what is on the horizon for Sorry.

Foggy Notions presents: Panda Bear - Button Factory, Dublin - May 31st, 2025
Panda Bear, the solo project of Animal Collective’s Noah Lennox, announces his new full-length Sinister Grift, due out February 28, 2025 on Domino. Lennox recorded the album at his Estudio Campo in Lisbon, Portugal and co-produced it with his Animal Collective bandmate Josh Dibb. Today he shares the album’s first single “Defense,” which features Cindy Lee, the drag queen pop persona of Canadian musician Patrick Flegel, on guitar.
Sinister Grift is available for pre-order on limited-edition Clear vinyl (Domino Mart), Curacao Blue vinyl (indie exclusive), standard LP, CD, and digitally. All LPs include a double-sided 12”x36” poster. Also available for pre-order on the Domino Mart is a limited-edition Sinister Grift shirt. Domino Mart | Digital
Two decades since debuting as the masked-and-nicknamed drummer and vocalist of Animal Collective, Noah Lennox has led so many creative lives, navigated so many different styles, and been part of so many beloved recordings, that it can be easy to overlook just how consistent his creative vision has remained. From landmarks solo albums like 2007’s Person Pitch and 2015’s Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, to breakthroughs with Animal Collective like 2004’s Sung Tongs and 2009’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, to his boundary-pushing collaborations with Daft Punk and Solange, Dean Blunt and Paramore, all of his work followed an instantly identifiable emotional throughline while influencing multiple generations and genres of artists.
On Sinister Grift, Lennox’s first solo album in five years, he has returned with another statement that feels equally cumulative and unprecedented in his catalog. While his solo records have ranged from starkly intimate expressions of grief to colorful, electronic opuses, his music has never before sounded so warm and immediate. Working in his Lisbon, Portugal home studio with Animal Collective bandmate Josh “Deakin” Dibb, Lennox transforms Panda Bear into something resembling an old-school rock ensemble, playing nearly all the instruments himself and inviting kindred spirits into the process such as Cindy Lee, Spirit of the Beehive’s Rivka Ravede, and—for the first time on a Panda Bear solo album—each of his Animal Collective bandmates.
“Working on this record felt like a sacred and warm return. Noah and I first started putting music down to multitrack cassette in 1991. 32 years later and working in the same fashion, two friends alone in a room searching for sounds and feelings that move us, I am very proud of what we created together. Sinister Grift feels like the songwriter I've known for over 30 years but also feels like some sort of new chapter for Noah. Couldn't be more proud of the result.” - Josh “Deakin” Dibb
“A classic rock dream that ebbs beautifully into a little bit of a nightmare.” - Daniel Lopatin
“Noah has the ability to be incredibly concise in his songwriting. Feels like every idea, every word and every sound is there to serve a purpose - the purpose being the actual song. Sinister Grift has that all-timer feel to it, as if the songs have been around for decades and at the same time full of fresh new light as though they’re pointing forward.” - Maria Reis
"In these dark times we all need music to get through life. Panda Bear has the magic, his voice feels like the medicine to heal this world. Noah has given us Sinister Grift, I feel relaxed and the beach doesn’t feel far away. Merci Noah for the gift.” - DJ Falcon
“Sinister Grift is a beautiful album. Everything sounds authentic and natural, as if it has always existed and will continue to do so. True and timeless. Thank you Noah.” - Alan Braxe

Have A Nice Life formed in the early 2000s when its two primary members, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga, were studying at the University of Massachusetts. With the aim of crafting "oddly
aggressive acoustic songs," the duo spent five years meticulously constructing their debut LP, Deathconsciousness, a 2008 release that rippled across the post-punk landscape.
Deathconsciousness is now hailed for its anguished subject matter and unwaveringly lo-fi production, and it is considered an experimental cornerstone. The album's haunting themes and complex soundscapes resonated deeply with listeners, leading to a cult following that grew steadily over the years. The record's unique blend of post-punk, shoegaze, and industrial influences set it apart, earning critical acclaim and a lasting legacy in the underground music scene.
In 2014, Have A Nice Life released their follow-up album, The Unnatural World, which continued to explore the dark and introspective themes of their debut while further developing their distinctive sound. Their third album, Sea of Worry, released in 2019, saw the band incorporating more diverse musical influences and refining their production techniques. Sea of Worry blends elements of goth rock, post-punk, and shoegaze, delivering a more polished yet equally intense listening experience. The album tackles themes of existential dread and anxiety, resonating with listeners through its powerful lyrics and immersive soundscapes.
Have A Nice Life's live performances, though rare, are highly anticipated events, characterized by their intense energy and the duo's ability to translate their complex studio work into powerful live renditions. Despite maintaining a relatively low public profile, Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga have cultivated a dedicated fan base and continue to influence a new generation of musicians drawn to their uncompromising artistic vision.
Having sold out their debut Irish performance in in just a few days Have A Nice Life have added a second show

As pioneers of the post-punk movement, Gang Of Four’s music favored tense rhythms, percussive guitar, and lyrics that traded in Marxist theory and situationism.
“2025 will be the 45th anniversary of the release of ‘Entertainment!’ in the US, and will be our final year as a band. It’s been wonderful, but all things must end. We want to go out with a bang and celebrate with our fans and friends. So, on what will be our last US tour, we’ll play two sets at each show: ‘Entertainment!” from start to finish in the first, and the best of the rest in the second. Come and join in, it’ll be a blast!”
Nação Zumbi formed in 1990 in Recife, Brazil, and is a key figure in the manguebeat movement, which blends traditional northeastern Brazilian styles with rock, hip hop, and other genres. Their debut album, Da Lama ao Caos (1994), is considered a landmark release, showcasing a mix of heavy guitar riffs, innovative percussion, and socially conscious lyrics. The band’s music often addresses themes like social inequality, cultural identity, and urban life. They are known for their energetic live performances, which further highlight their eclectic sound and commitment to their roots. The band's lineup has evolved over the years, with key members like lead vocalist and guitarist Jorge Du Peixe and drummer Pupillo continuing to shape their sound.
Nação Zumbi remains active today, exploring new musical territories while staying true to their cultural heritage.
Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There's just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act, the ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”
In the time since Blondshell, the image of Teitelbaum’s life has changed considerably.
