Cosmic Glue - Why, When & What

Like Cosmic Glue on Facebook

Cosmic Glue is the title of my forthcoming album due out in late Spring 2013.

The title comes from the lyrics in one of the new songs; 'Secret Lovers'.

Cosmic Glue is all set to be an exciting project. I recently unearthed a couple of twenty-four track master tapes from some recordings I made in 1977. We transferred the tapes to digital format at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios in Box. Everyone concerned was astonished at the songs and performances and especially how current the music sounded.

Hidden among the tracks were two songs that had not been heard since the day we recorded them. I was blown away.

As a result I will be updating some songs, duetting with my younger self on others and even turning one song into two completely different ones.

We're also preparing to take Cosmic Glue on the road this year. The songs work well in a solo acoustic form, but work equally well with a guest artist or two as well as the full band.

It's going to be quite a journey.

                      

David Ireland: The New Album

A Twist Of Time


I'm preparing tracks for my forthcoming sessions. This will be an exciting time for me, mainly because I'm reworking some recently discovered masters of a set of recordings I made in 1977. We remastered the tracks at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, and
frankly, I was astonished at the quality of some of the tracks. We also discovered a couple that had not been heard since the original sessions.

'Over the coming months I will be recording re-worked versions of some of the 1977 tracks, plus a whole slew of new numbers. The album promises to be a revealing and autobiographical  collection of songs and will include; Green Fingers, The Day That Elvis Died, Black Hole, Boy In The Attic, Bang Bang Bang Bang, Secret Lovers, Horn Of Plenty and many more.'

Featured musicians to include John Gardner, Ade & Barbara Miller, Callum Partridge, Patsy Gamble, Jan Stavinoha, Stephan Marlot, Cees v.d. Laarse, Hans van Epen, Rufus Fry, Gerard Jeltes and Hessel de Vries.

'The blend of new recordings and re-worked '77 sessions are meshing beautifully and the prospect of recording with my younger self is exhilarating. There is a harder band sound to the new tracks, still very blues and rock based, but with some softer edged numbers in there too. One of my current favourites is a tune called 'One Good Year'. Very Beatle-esque.'

The album is scheduled for a Spring 2013 release on Double Infinity Records followed by a series of gigs across the country.

'The gigs will be a mixture of solo nights and band performances, depending on venue. The songs are all written to be performed solo or with any combination of players.'
