Their austere, yet muscular debut album 'Is' arrived in 2016 to critical acclaim.ĭrawing on a web of disparate influences from the realms of literature and audio visual arts, Mícheál Keating (Vocals, Guitar), Brendan McInerney (Drums, Backing Vocals) and Cathal Histon (Synthesizers, Sampling, Backing Vocals) were clearly operating on a different musical plain to most other Irish acts, and comparisons to Radiohead (the kiss of death) and other highbrow artists soon followed.Īlthough 'Is' was obviously a fine venture, it undoubtedly perplexed the casual listener and it's easy to see why the mainstream media did not take to Bleeding Heart Pigeons in the way they did many other acts in the class of 2014, but if Real Connections, the lead single from their forthcoming album 'Stir' is anything to go by, that could all be about to change.
Their complex melodies, arrangements and lyrical subject matter belied their years and they were quickly snapped up by Virgin Records in the UK. In what seems like a lifetime ago, we tipped three young lads from Limerick for big things in our inaugural Plec Picks 'ones to watch' series back in 2014 along with Hozier, Daithi, Wyvern Lingo and All Tvvins.
