Katie Kim
Katie Kim is the pseudonym of Katie Sullivan when she performs and records her slowcore, ethereal, ambient folk/pop. Paired with vocals that have been compared to Zola Jesus, Stina Nordenstam, Cat Power and Joanna Newsom, the music revolves and swims around layers of fuzzy drips and murky clouds but always seems to come to an elegant conclusion, whether on her own or accompanied by her six-piece band.

Her debut release “Twelve” was admired and praised throughout the country and prompted much collaboration with a spectrum of other artists including David Kitt, Milosh, Halves and The Waterboys, among others.

Katie Kim’s second release, “Cover&Flood” is an ambitious double vinyl release consisting of some twenty songs she recorded over the last 2 years – some at home, some in a makeshift studio and others by the sea. Cover&Flood has received critical acclaim thus far in Ireland and overseas and is available to buy now.

The band have also recently finished scoring and performing an original soundtrack in conjunction with the French Film Festival for Germain Dulacs 1927 controversial masterpiece, “The seashell &The Clergyman” , which was believed to be one of the first Avant Garde, Surrealist films ever made. They performed the soundtrack live to a sell out Audience, including renouned director Agnes Varde and will be releasing the performance as a multi media package later this year.

“Let us get to the heart of the matter straight away: Katie Kim’s Cover And Flood is very, very good. Appealingly minimal half-whispered melodies blend with primitive guitar arpeggios, or pianos and cellos, or organs and harmoniums, or drum-machine beatz, or electronic fuzz, and over it all varying degrees of echo, reverb, distortion and background noise wash like a comforting lo-fi sea.” – HOT PRESS 2012

Chequerboard
Chequerboard is Dublin guitarist and neighborhood familiar John Lambert who returns to the Joinery to perform material from his upcoming long player ‘The Unfolding’. A long time favourite of the likes of DJs John Kelly and Donal Dineen, Chequerboard’s inimatable sound has garnered praise from critics far afield, earning him a five-star review from The Irish Times for his last album Penny Black (2008). Centred around looping guitar phrases Lambert utilizes a plethora of machinery to create subtle, textured, emotionally charged pieces.

‘A priceless rarity and something to treasure’ (*****5 stars)

Ickis Mirolo
“He’s not afraid of noise and adventurously delves straight into corrupting the given structures of melody and rhythm with strange chirrups and washes of jarring sound that, rather than spoiling the beauty of thoughtfully-constructed patterns, emphasise them. Ickis Mirolo seems to have little truck with replicating other people’s sentiments and instead, delivers a noisy, unnerving and very striking alternative instead.” – Harmless Noise
