Instaling Mountain Duck 4.14.4.214402/16/2024 His songs are a strange and hearty stew, taking traditional structures and compositions and amping up, warping, distorting, and misshaping them with layers of electronic dissonance and interference, found-sound spoken-word samples and other assorted rogue audio curio. Seamus Fogarty grew up in County Mayo in the west of Ireland, raised on Irish folk music and experimental electronica. It started out being quite humorous but the lockdown and the months following it were so tough, I wanted to write a song with a really solid backbone that would serve as a message to myself and to whoever else might listen.” “Ordinarily I would be far too self-conscious to make something like this, but I found myself really enjoying this slightly new approach to writing lyrics and the story just fell on to the page. “I got into the idea of doing a spoken word track after spending a good portion of 20 listening to early 90s hip hop while collaborating on the soundtrack to an Irish movie called ‘Sunlight’ with my friend Barry Ward,” says Seamus of ‘They Recognised Him’. Seamus will tour the UK and Ireland throughout autumn and winter. It’s set for release on 12” vinyl and via digital services on October 27, 2023. His first work with Lost Map Records since 2015’s Ducks and Drakes EP (“fleeting remembrances and fugitive feelings” ★★★★ – The Skinny), ‘They Recognised Him’ is taken from the forthcoming Hee Haw EP, a ramshackle collection of songs and instrumentals which Seamus has been working on for the last couple of years. A dolorously funny spoken word lament set to queasily de-tuned guitar chords and wheezing synths, ‘They Recognised Him’ is the brand-new single by London-based Irish folk and electronica mashing singer-songwriter Seamus Fogarty.
