Irish post-punk band Slightly Dishevelled release new single “Lament”
the single suceeds debut “Bank Account”, released in late 2024
Slightly Dishevelled is a 5-piece noise ensemble, living scattered across Ireland. Their music is a combination of influences, ranging from 70s punk to psychedelia, from improvisation to noise music. Their eclectic artistic interests are somewhat indiscernible in this absurdist blend of sound.
After playing many gigs around Ireland, the songs became morphed and mangled, and the group were insistent on capturing the abstraction in their own “dishevelled" way. Their non-compromising attitude led them to an Achill Island studio in 2023 and resulted in the creation of their debut album: "Dirty Dishes and the West Wing"(Official Release- 21st February).
Recent endeavours led the group to act and star in short film “Gan Ainm(35mm)” by Dublin artist Roisin Ni Mhaoldomhnaigh which is being shown in private screenings around Dublin until 2025. In 2023 they scored “Molasses pt. ii”, a film piece by Cork artist Saoirse McGarry. The completely improvised piece was recorded in one 20-minute take in the Achill Island Studio. The film piece was nominated for the RDS visual arts prize and could be experienced in an exhibition in IMMA in March ’24.
New single “ Lament” shows the descent of one into madness. The theatrical undercurrent is produced with screechy violins, with vocal performances by all five band members bringing the swirling dement levels to the roof. The single captures all the qualities that the hold dear - a bouncing madness to take the listener on a dissonant yet cathartic journey through the depths of despair.
