EDITORS & TALOS GIG DRAWS CLOSE

THE imperious Editors (above) are Belfastbound this coming Monday, playing the Ulster Hall as part of their current tour.

The now five-piece formed back in 2003 and became one of the leading bands in the post-punk revival that swept the UK in the early 21st century.

They have continued on their upward trajectory ever since, releasing album after album of sheer unadulterated, boundarypushing indie rock.

At risk of sounding like excruciating hipsters though, it’s the support act we’re looking forward to seeing the most.

Talos is Eoin French, an electronic musician from Cork. An architect by trade and qualification, but a musician first and foremost.

That’s why he’s surrendered certain things. That’s what drove him to an attic in Dublin; further afield to Iceland and finally, to splendid semi-isolation in the expanse of

West Cork. The end result: a private world that becomes public, and a debut album called ‘Wild Alee’, an absolute masterpiece of a long player released last year.

Produced and mixed by Talos and Ross Dowling over the course of 18 months, the 13-track record includes singles ‘Contra’, ‘Odyssey’ and ‘This Is Us Colliding’, plus earlier cuts ‘Your Love Is An Island’ and his debut release from late 2014, ‘Tethered Bones’.

‘Wild Alee’ is a personal, emotive and ambitious electronic pop record and one we absolutely cannot wait to hear performed live on Monday. This will be an absolute belter! Tickets are available from usual Ticketmaster outlets, or try your luck with our competition..
