Who Art Thou‪?‬ Barra Carlin

For this latest episode of the 'Who Art Thou?' podcast I will be chatting to the incredible talent that is The Vagabond Queen.
The Vagabond Queen is a Spoken Word Artist, Noir writer and Poet who puts on a truly unique and captivating performance when you see her live.
She is also the curator for The Queen's Cauldron, a night that showcases some of the top talent we have in Ireland at the moment, displaying a wide variety in styles and genre.
We'll be chatting about where The Vagabond Queen's interest began in spoken word poetry, first time performances, her trip to Paris, her visual poetry video titled 'Le Monde N'existe Pas' and many other stories.
She was a fantastic guest, I really loved every second of recording this episode so I hope you do too!

Today's guest is Emileo!
For this episode we'll be doing a deep dive on Emileo's incredible new EP, 'A Thief of Mother's Milk', which was released on May 7th and it's genuinely one of my favorite releases of the year so far. It's absolutely gorgeous from start to finish.
The EP conceptually illuminates the process of the modern human being deprived of affection and love. It claims that there is no such thing as a bad heart, just one that is shivering in the freezing cold of withdrawal and loss. The EP takes the listener through seven chapters of a world of loneliness where love turns into a disease.
The EP is written and produced by Emileo herself, mixed by James Eager (The Scratch) and mastered by Peter Montgomery (Tame Impala, Bicep). The songs ‘Mother’s milk’ and ‘No One’s daughter’ feature Emileo’s mother recalling the experience of giving birth to her daughter, and Dara Abdurahman (Bricknasty)
plays bass on the song ‘Marrakesh’.
The EP's last song Fata Morgana (पार्थ) features a music video which is shot in Southern Spain and Morocco and is released today!
On the 14th of May, Emileo will celebrate 'A Thief of Mother's milk' in her EP Launch Experience in the bunker of the Pawnshop where she will perform the whole EP live, which has completely sold out!

Today's guest is the incredible talent that is SPOOKLET!
A fantastic artist, I first came across her work from her collaboration with silverglass on the song 'Seraph', and then listened to her own material and I became a fan quite literally immediately after listening. She has 4 singles out currently, each one of them showcasing her brilliant creative and experimental qualities.
The music from SPOOKLET is incredible and the live shows are an absolute must see. I've been fortunate to have seen two performances of SPOOKLET's and each time I was completely floored.
I'll be chatting with SPOOKLET about her creative process, her songs and live performances, where her stage name comes from and a whole host of other tangents and chatter that always happens on this podcast.

Today I am joined by Sonny and Harry of the fantastic Post-Rock band, Geo Postal!
The band have two singles out currently, 'Planet Express' and 'Steady The Hand', two gorgeous Post-Rock songs that I would highly recommend checking out and that we will be breaking down on this podcast along with such other topics as how the band got their name, their creative process, the art of musical packaging, the mysterious numbers on a bottle of Buckfast, AI and art and a many other tangents this podcast is brought down.
The band are also the hosts to a new dedicated night for all things Post-Rock, Math-rock and Prog-Rock called 'White Noise', an event which held it's first night last Saturday alongside two fantastic bands, DasGak! and Silverglass.
This is an awesome and I really can't wait to see what they have in store next!

I'm delighted to have Cian and Emmet of the band Bucket on the podcast today!
One of the most exciting, abrasive and certainly loud bands at the moment, I'll be chatting to the lads about how the band began, their two latest singles, 'Who Knows' and 'Budgie' (Including a very funny story about the origin of the aforementioned song) and how they mark a new era and sound for the band, loudest bands, Bon Jovi, and what the band is working towards next!
The first time I saw this band I was completely floored by the sheer heft of their sound and the energy on stage, been a fan ever since so to have them on the podcast is really awesome - The lads had me laughing throughout the whole episode.

Today I'm joined by the Dublin-Based Alternative band AZURE on the podcast!
I'll be chatting with Sean and Sam about their brand new EP, 'Case Del Dáil' (maybe the best EP title of the year?) which was released on the 5th of April.
I would highly recommend checking this EP, it's absolutely brilliant from start to finish - my personal favorite tune off it is 'Soul Stricken Misfit Black'.
I'll be chatting with the band how the EP came out about, recording with Beardfire Music, the band's many influences, favorite live performances, the beautiful artwork for the EP designed by Chloe Harte and many other topics of discussion!
It was also one of the most insightful episodes I've recorded in a while for discovering new Irish acts, so if you want to hear about an amazing band and then some more, this is the episode to listen to!
