about

A post-minimalist opus for precarious times: HERE WE ARE NOW is an amped-up composition for four electric guitars, bass, drums, percussion, and saxophonics that merges avant-rock, improvised music, and minimalism. Layers of iterated patterns and pulses, awash with justly-tuned drones and overtones, transform Irish folk modalities and rhythms into bold, distinct new music; a ten-part form using dense timbres, duration, repetition, and volume to engage listeners on a number of levels and reconfigure how we are now.

'Fantastic', Bernard Clarke, RTE Lyric FM

‘A piece of minimal instrumental avant-rock power that propels and compels. Here We Are Now is a big great slab of a group working perfectly as one tight unit’, Norman Records (UK)

'Extraordinary... love the record', Dan Hegarty, RTE 2FM
