Sampling and chopping and synthesizing and layering and mangling and then trying to mix it all... :P

Yossarian Lives are arch-miserablists Rob Shiels, Dr. Ger Lynch, James Lindsay and Dr. James Lovatt, a four-piece electro-folk-pop band from Dublin, Ireland. Career highlights include supporting cult American indie-pop band The Magnetic Fields in the Olympia in 2012 and winning the Daily Mails' 'Fighting Chance’ song competition in 2011.
  Their musical style ranges from the piano-driven melancholia of Christmas single “Every Christmas (You’re Not Quite Her)” to the synth-pop of their forthcoming single, “Leagues”.  Two constants throughout their material are a clever lyricism that avoids cliché and a McCartney-esque appreciation of pop melodies.

Three albums of self-produced material led Yossarian Lives to be featured on TV3’s "The Apprentice" and an accompanying "Best Unsigned Bands" Compilation CD. They're now working with producer James Lindsay (Near Records) to craft the next evolution of their sound. Yossarian Lives' music has been on the playlists of national stations RTE 2FM and TodayFM along with regional stations including Beat 102-103, NearFM and PhoenixFM.
