Loner Deluxe – Winters Last Fire
What you may need to know…
01. Loner Deluxe is the nom-de-beats and solo folktronica project of Rusted Rail Records man, Keith Wallace.
02. “…like a blend of Godspeed, Four Tet, glitchy little electronic sound effects, haunting fairground music, Boards of Canada and a kinda strange psyche folk version of My Bloody Valentine“, said the dearly departed Road Records at one point.
03. Winters Last Fire, is the lead song on the project’s newest ‘digital cassingle’ Snowed Under, released this past January. Animated sci-fi visuals courtesy of Galway’s Tiny Epics.
04. The song was selected as part of An Taobh Tuathail Vol. 7 by RnaG tastemaker Cian O’Cíobháin, alongside tunes by Sufjan Stevens and Nils Frahm, among others. Good company.
05. Snowed Under is the winter-themed sequel to previous digital cassingle (which is a nice concept for small groupings of songs that don’t quite feel like a “proper” E.P., in fairness) The Coast is Clear.
Verdict: We might be a bit past winter but this is still music to come home and put on a cup of tay to…

First Time Buyer writes:
Are developers our equivalent to [oil producer cartel] OPEC, hoarding land and keeping output to a minimum in order to drive up prices and their profits?
They are holding out in the hope that the next Government will reduce taxes and levies or put pressure on the Central Bank to relax its mortgage lending rules.
The result is that buyers are being forced to seek housing beyond the city and reviving the uunsustainable boom-era practice of long-distance commuting.
The evidence; asking prices are dropping in Dublin but increasing in the rest of the country.

[Sinn Féin’s] Dessie Ellis posters abandoned on waste ground in his constituency. Still there last night 9th March. Tweeted him on 6th March to advise. No response as yet.
1975 called. They want their casual homophobia back.

From the Waterford Mail apparently
McGregor asserts he’s quite tough,
And repeats this claim often enough,
But some muscly Yank,
Who calls himself Frank,
Has asked for a peek at his muff.
