Things have been getting a bit … main stream around here recently (David Byrne? The Fall?). Time to slip back into obscurity methinks…









Moose Eats Leaf / Steve Fanagan

I googled “Steve Fanagan” and came up with this picture, although I fear it may not actually be our man…

Moose Eats Leaf is Irish guitarist and sound engineer Steve Fanagan, who specialises in a string of brittle, atmospheric releases under various guises (Northstation and Wrecking Ball being another two). He also runs Slow Loris Records based in Dublin, putting out a string of ridiculously obscure CDR releases, in a number of different quirky formats. His most recent CD, “Adrift”, for example, was limited to a run of 50 CDs and featured individually spiro-graphed covers. This I like very much.

The music is a little strange as well, largely consisting of meandering guitar pieces overlaid with various loops and psychedelic effects that make for a compelling listen.

I’m posting these three songs, and can heartily recommend them to you for thoughtful listening, and from there, you can go to the man’s site, where there are a very generous selection of other tracks.

The first track is from “Adrift”, the others from the CDs “Toy Box and “Sketch Book Scribble” respectively
