Seamus Fogarty (Domino Records)

Description

The Lamplight Club returns with the new signing from Domino Records, touring the release of London-based Irish alt-folk and electronica alchemist's truly magnificent second album.

“You know when a song is good enough to let go,” muses Seamus Fogarty of his patient and meticulous approach to songcraft. Over time and tide it's given rise to the London-based Irish alt-folk and electronica alchemist's truly magnificent second album and Domino Records debut The Curious Hand. A record not born of grand ideas realised at a stroke, but eked out slowly and steadily, honed and cultivated, turned over and around, deconstructed and put back together again. A record made through open-spirited collaboration with friends and family and hours lost in a headphone world. All that and Seamus's natural inclination to take his songs and “screw them up,” as he puts it. By which he means squirreling them back to his home studio and applying the synthesiser drones and circuit burps, found sounds and spoken-word audio samples that give all of his records such wonderful atmosphere. It's as if they're haunted by rogue half-tuned signals from another world.
