Cap Pas Cap's debut album, 'Haunted Light' is finished and ready for release, November 2010.


"Dublin's Cap Pas Cap are an enigmatic and mysterious band. They are one of the best Irish bands around. Problem is, they are rarely around. The rarely play gigs and rarely release any music. Whether this is due to writer's block, other band commitments or simple laziness, I don't know.

It is a great pity though, as in their limited numbers of releases, they have shown great originality and song writing in a number of different styles.

In a seemingly effortless way, they have released an EP 'Not Not Is Fine' which showed a mastery of krautrock-influenced new wave, and judicious use of cowbell. They returned with the fantastic electro-rock EP 'We Are Men'. The problem is that the former was released in 2006 and the latter in November 2008.

The 12" featured fantastic remixes by Jape, Decal, and thatboytim. The excellent video was the winner of Best Production/Special Effects Video at the Irish Music Television Awards 2009. Their long, long awaited debut album was originally penciled in for late 2009 but is now due out this summer.

They released their two EPs on the excellent Dublin label Skinny Wolves, home to luminaries such as Telepathe, Indian Jewelry and Effi Briest. Their other release was a split 7" with guitar heroine Marnie Stern, which was released on the Hidden Hive label." - CORK Independent


"Edgy, daring and sparky, Dublin band Cap Pas Cap play a hugely alluring post-everything game. There has only been a handful of releases to date, but each one has seen them pulling new shapes from the bag. Their best moment to date was last year’s hypnotic and spacey We Are Men single on the Skinny Wolves label, a pointer to the new-wave-no-wave-what-wave terrain they’re calling their own. Cap Pas Cap’s debut album should be one of this year’s highlights." - Irish Times, Jim Carroll

Cap Pas Cap - Mirrors

"Dark pop from Dublin with a hypnotic beat, Cap Pas Cap have echoes of Adult, Xmal Deutschland and Ruth. But this is cold-wave that doesn't freeze you out..." - Dazed & Confused

4/5 : "Edgy and finely crafted, Cap Pas Cap’s unsettling grooves are an enthralling experience." - Sunday Business Post

4/5 : "At times they sound like the best bits of CSS and New Young Pony Club but all the while there is something altogether more mysterious going on." - Sunday Tribune

4/5 : "There's an edge and artifice here that the folks at Pitchfork would go gaga for, but Haunted Light is far more than just an album for the scenesters to name-check" - Irish Independent

4/5 : "This is one of the Irish albums of the year" - Metro Ireland

4/5 : "Bottom-heavy rhytms and grooves topped with angular guitars, and edgy attitude and a pop sensibility that shines through the over-riding melancholia" - The Star
"We're happy to announce this particular monster a vicious bitch baying for blood - Haunted Light is 36 minutes of sonic terrorism from a perhaps unsuspecting source. Obviously then, you need to buy it." - Totally Dublin

"For a band that paces itself, their pulsating, motorik, dance funk threatens to run amok, but it is tethered, and sculpted by a knowing pop craft, and less-is-more aesthetic. Their time is now – should they allow it. " - Le Cool

"Surreal, but loving it" - Hot Press

"The record is excellent, beginning with the throbbing groove of opener ‘Mirrors’ and never lets up from there" - Cork Independent
"With the mystical darkness from Ladytron, entertaining charm of Ladyhawk, geometrical computer graphic infused videos and some haunting hipster-cam artwork, Cap Pas Cap are a potentially great band on the first steps of what will hopefully be a long journey." - Heineken Music

"Dark, bass-driven and alluring" - RTE Ten

"Dark, pointed and multi-layered, Haunted Light is a promising debut" - Irish Times
