Wow - haven't heard this in years! Brilliant song.

wonderful collaboration, reminds me a tad of the Quebec group,  Beau Dommage

Bon, bon. Your voices are perfect for this chanson!  :)

Don't know the original Rowan (or speak the language), but nice clean sound, harmonies are great!

You are a very talented fellow - always love your vocals and song structure. Well done!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Born Stubborn

I wanted to write an untraditional love song telling about the feeling of total abandon and utter and almost desperate love. And I used this song to propose to Líney, who is now my wife.

Part of my album Ölduslóð (way of waves) and basically one of the pillars of the album, a wonderful duet with Markéta Irglová. 
Recorded and produced by Mio of Greenhouse Studios fame.

From KING OF THE OPERA's debut album NOTHING OUTSTANDING

The Halfduck Misery

Raindrops


The raindrops are falling down your face, 
Oh how I miss your warm embrace. 
The dust in the carper that I inhale, 
Tastes gray and dry from where I lay.

Get off the ground and make a sound.

The raindrops are falling down your face, 
Oh how I miss your warm embrace. 
I can feel the taste that you left in my mouth
It’s like fine red wine, a bit bitter a bit tart.

Get off the ground and make a sound
Oh, get off the ground and make a sound

The raindrops are falling down your face, 
and yes I do  miss your warm embrace. 
But as blue and the purple clouds murk the sky
the smell of the rain makes my blood alive.

Get off the ground and make a sound
Get off the ground and make a sound.

Climax. Pushing through to the other side. One of those tracks where I really feel that this bodymind was just a vessel for the vision to pour through, to manifest.

Track 13 of my acapella-avantgarde-ritual-noise album Ihmineläin - Lähde (2008). One of my personal favorites.

Ihmineläin - Puhdistautuminen

Combining 60s psychedelia, folk noir, art rock, baroque pop and gothic post-punk, The Mad Pride has been described as haunting and ominous like Syd Barrett and David Bowie collaborating on a Tim Burton film soundtrack. Comparisons are often made to Radiohead, Grizzly Bear, Erik Satie, Opeth, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, baroque and minimalist / repetitive composers. It is the solo recording project of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Rowan Galagher. 

Since 2009 Rowan has released 3 original albums and he is currently releasing tracks from his 4th. He has moved from avant-garde psych-folk experimentation to cinematic soundscapes and towards a classical style of psychedelic rock. His DIY ethic motivated him to play the majority of the instruments himself and record them alone in his Wollongong based apartment.

With an uncompromising commitment to emotional authenticity and a wider goal of positive social change, Rowan is driven to make honest and progressive music. He is constantly pushing the boundaries of conventional genres and seeks to forge a new platform in the contemporary musical landscape. It would appear that he is succeeding at this as, aside from the aforementioned artists, Rowan's music has also been compared to Jacques Brel, Mr Bungle, Danny Elfman, Jeff Martin, Muse and David Sylvian.

'The Mad Pride' is a reference to the mass movement known as 'Mad Pride'. "Mad Pride activists seek to re-educate the general public on such subjects as the causes of mental disorders, the experiences of those using the mental health system, and the global suicide pandemic."

"If you mix the elements from Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Syd Barrett and Radiohead, you’ll get this music, in the most creative way." 
- acuvi - acuvi.org

“Psychedelic 60s gone noir cabaret with 80s goth production: watery guitars, icy keys and vintage Bowie-esque vocals.” 
- Delarue - New York Music Daily

“I recently came across some incredible stuff… The songs bear some resembles to Syd Barret, Tom Waits, Nick Cave or Cohen, this is interesting stuff for sure… I’m posting this because I think it’s worth it.”
- Netanderthalian – Grateful Breed Blog – A Psychedelicious Corner

"The Mad Pride is a good example of Folk Noir (“dark folk”) that also plays with some late 60′s dark psychedelic folk melodies. Galagher has been compared to Syd Barrett and the comparison is apt." 
- Matt Coleman - The Music Court Blog

“The variety here is amazing. The songs run the range from soft, almost acoustical to moody and experimental enough to be the sound track to a Tim Burton movie. They each push the limits of their genre. Be sure and listen to them all as they are very different and there is sure to be something you really like.”
- Jane W – fanrealm.com

“Rowan Galagher’s music is amazing. One minute it has you thinking “Pink Floyd” the next something entirely different. There is an ebb and flow to it that makes The Mad Pride beautiful to listen to.”
- Paddy – Only Australian Music Blog Archive

“Touches of the fragile detachment of Radiohead and a spectrum of dramatic emotion all take up residence under an ominous sky."
- Mr Atavist – Sunrise Ocean Bender
