Video: Larry - WAH

Larry - WAH - Live

Larry - 'WAH' (Live)

Info: Larry is a three piece band from Dundalk. A combination of lo-fi alt rock with raw emotive lyrics & pop sensibilities stems from the likes of Ryan Adams, Pixies and Wilco. They have been honing their live shows around the country in small venues and festivals since forming in late 2017.

Larry will record their debut album in Electrical Audio, Chicago with renowned recording engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Shellac) this September. It will be released on 12" vinyl and streaming services through Pizza Pizza Records. Larry is Joey Edwards, Aoife Ward & David Noonan.

DAY-GLO. The new single from Dundalk's Larry 'WAH' is the best kind of woozy lo-fi gratification. No gimmicks, not even subtle ones, no pretences, just an invitation to zone out, and god forgive me, be happy as Larry? One of the loveliest things about 'WAH' is the symmetrical even keel of everything. Bass, percussion, vocals and guitar all share what feels like 25% of the space equally, leading to appreciation of all four combined without any strain of the ear, just mellow flow. And to slightly contradict myself! the bass is so sick and perfectly understated. This track is also one of the biggest teasers I've heard this year, and that's based on how much I love it, and the fact that they've shared there's an album in the pipeline, and I suppose Steve Albini's involvement doesn't hurt, but most of all I just can't wait to hear a collection of tracks that compliment 'WAH' and each other. Larry is my band.

The video for 'WAH' was directed by Just Mustard's KT Ball.
