PATRICK KELLEHER : From Dublin, Patrick Kelleher has built up a steady following around the world over the last two years since the release of his debut album “You Look Cold” on Osaka records in 2009. Following on from the haunted disco of last year’s great “Contact Sports” 7” (on Skinny Wolves) the four songs here find him in low key synth pop mode, with the stand-out “This Room” in particular hinting at very cool things to come for his second album due later in 2011. This is a split double EP with Patrick’s Cold Dead Hands/Children Under Hoof bandmate Gerard Duffy (aka School Tour) and is super limited to 100 white tapes.
SCHOOL TOUR : From Donegal and based in Dublin, School Tour is the solo project of Gerard Duffy, sometime member of Patrick Kelleher and His Cold Dead Hands and Irish drone collective Children Under Hoof. While maintaining the synth driven experimentation of those two bands the emphasis here seems to be mostly on melody, with dark corners more often than not opening onto bright sunlit spaces. He’s recently started adding vocals too, to great effect here especially on the opening track “The Last Exit West”. This is a split double EP with Patrick Kelleher and is super limited to 100 white tapes.
