Supernatural

..........youth, art, the pulse of the city. City of Hearts is a song to walk or dance to.
"If Gary Numan spawned a love-child with Niki And The Dove it would sound like this (CIty of Hearts)" Eddy Temple-Morris, XFM
”Bewitching, beguiling, dark-hearted…infectious, substantial noir-disco.. electropop” The Irish Times
"If they ever film a sequel to Nicolas Winding Refn’s hyper-stylish film Drive......Sleep Thieves should be on the short list for scoring duties" 
Pigeons and Planes
“.....think wave-y-gothic vocals (Austra/Fever Ray/The Golden Filter) floating in and out from the dark to the bright side and back!"	
Deer De Bois
Sleep Thieves, are Sorcha Brennan (vocals, synths), Wayne Fahy (Vocals, synths, bass, programming), and Keith Byrne (synths, guitar, bass, programming). The Dublin-dwelling trio met through Twitter where they bonded over film soundtracks and vintage synths. This musical friendship was solidified in the recording of their self-released EP, Islands in 2012, which garnered accolades from the press.

Song written by Sleep Thieves.
Recorded by Keith Byrne.
Mixed by Rian Trench and mastered by Aidan Foley at Masterlabs, Dublin.

City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
 
You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

Having impressed at Hard Working Class Heroes</a> last year with their experimental off-filter folk and electronic songs, the duo of Harry Bookless and Aaron Page have built up a reputation locally in Dublin as a fine live act.

Their music often takes in field recordings captured around the city (parks, museums, concert halls and coastlines) rather than some remote wild location. 

Their new double A-side single, takes it first step forward with 'Roots' ('Significant Landscapes' is the other track). It's their most direct track yet, a suitably clip clopping rhythm and synth stabs swell towards the chorus of Page singing "roots run deeper when we play / roots grow high when we lay," which despite the recordings of the metropolis, firmly place the song in a more pastoral setting.

Carriages will launch their single in The Fumbally Café with support from Maria Somerville, before embarking on an unusual Irish tour with the help of Homebeat. The single is released on iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp on July 2nd.

04/07/14 – The Fumbally - Dublin – with Maria Somerville
11/07/14 – Rossknowlagh, Donegal – with Slow Place Like Home
12/07/14 – Shells Café – Strandhill, Sligo – with Conor Walsh

Love Gets Lost

Dippin' Toes

I couldn't if you stayed
i could have you went away
but i am here they'll say
and somehow im wide awake

over days and night
i see it clear
i won the fight
and now you see it too
its the part that broke you

they built me a glass house
for me to break it down
and i never told you
i didn't tell the truth

hanging on the sea
tell me a story
'cause i just need to breathe
and then we can go to sleep

They built me a glass house
for me to break it down
and i never told you 
i didnt tell the truth

hanging on the sea
hanging on the sea
hanging on the sea
hanging on to see
hanging on the sea
hanging on to see
hanging on the sea


Lyrics & Melody - Lydia Des Dolles
Music - Shell Dooley
