JOE’s Song Of The Day #629: Aul Boy ‘Wait’

Eric Lalor

Aul Boy

Aul Boy can’t wait any longer.

Aul Boy are an indie-rock type quartet that combines the sounds of New York, California and Donegal in a genre-jumping collage of clever lyrics, loose guitars and tight rhythms.

They began life as the solo project of guitarist and singer Fionn Robinson, who got around to producing his own music after years of slinging guitar for bands. December 2016 saw the quiet release of his first offering – a 5-track, home-recorded EP entitled ‘Blue Ghosts’.

Since then Aul Boy has expanded to include Bjørn Patzwald (drums), Peadar Coll (bass), and Jeremy Howard (guitar/keys) and have been sharpening their live teeth – with sets at Swell and Distorted Perspectives festival, and playing with Exmagician, The Altered Hours and BC Camplight.

This is their first single as a collective and it’s a really promising debut. Chilled out vibes pepper the track and it reaches a crescendo with a really nice noisy ending.

With lazy guitars, a grooving rhythm section, and a droll, deadpan vocal delivery, this is a lazy jam against inaction that bursts into an exasperated and cathartic tangle of fuzz. A band to keep an eye on you might say.
