Irish producer Somadrone has been making electronic music since 1997. Member of Dublin’s cult band, Redneck Manifesto, Somadrone has produced 4 records and has toured in both Europe and the US. His last record, Depth of Field received critical acclaim and was compared to the likes of Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian and Brian Eno. The First Wave, recorded between 2010-2013 in San Francisco, Dublin and Brooklyn NY, incorporates analogue drum machines, synthesizers, guitar and vocals that results in a cross-pollinating, genre-less, electronic sound-scape.
The First Wave is available on vinyl from 4th November and digitally from 18th November. Somadrone plays The Grand Social on Saturday 30th November with support from Twin Kranes and Patrick Kelleher (solo).
