Best of 2014 - Irish EP
5) Sissy
In just four short blasts of garage-punk, Sissy's debut EP makes a strong feminist statement with humour and catchy songs - but true to the serious issues, there's real anger behind the ironic detachment.
4) I Have A Tribe – Yellow Raincoats EP
Taking feelings of crippling sadness and finding beauty in them by robbing them of their permanence, instead making them into something formal and transient.
3) Elastic Sleep - Leave You
It’s a shoegaze cocktail that’s been spiked with acid. This is a quite brilliant EP that announces Elastic Sleep as the real deal.
2) Wyvern Lingo - The Widow Knows EP
Karen Cowley, Saoirse Duane and Caoimhe Barry have a long and prosperous musical voyage ahead of them. ‘The Widow Knows EP’ is a fine place from which to launch it.
1) Zaska - Different Light
From intelligent to cheeky raps, the powerful to velvet-soft vocals and the groovy brass and strident strings; it's a musical lucky bag. One you can't resist dipping into.
