Seamus Fogarty Instore*

Wednesday 16th October 2024
Location: Rollercoaster Records, Kieran Street, Kilkenny, R95 F950
Seamus Fogarty previews track from his forthcoming record.

Alt-folk and electronica alchemist Seamus Fogarty released his third album A Bag
Of Eyes at the end of 2020. His second album for Domino Records, it follows on
from the success of 2017’s much-lauded The Curious Hand, a ‘stunning, mercurial
album’ that was awarded 5/5 by The Guardian. He released his debut full-length,
God Damn You Mountain, on cult Scottish label Fence Records in 2012
Originally from County Mayo, Fogarty now resides in London, and the capital
provides the canvas for much of Fogarty’s output. Fogarty’s method of lifting
sounds wholesale from his environment and tucking them into the folds of his
songs like keepsakes, renders himself at once, artist and archivist as well as
twisting the notion of the folk singer’s role as collector and custodian of stories,
traditions and cultural curio.
His current live show maintains the same healthy disregard for boundaries,
dipping into numerous genres from krautrock to traditional balladry and everything
in between, mixing conventional instrumentation with found sounds and live
electronics, all fronted by Fogarty’s plaintive vocal and songwriting.
