Listen to Phil Kieran’s album ‘Life Cycling’ in Full

“Nick Cave said music should be a vehicle,” says Phil Kieran, “a thing you can put yourself inside, to be taken on a journey; to let your own imagination create the connection between life experience and the sounds you hear”.

Kieran has been one of Ireland’s best producers for almost two decades, and when he spoke with Berlin-based record label Maeve about an album he’d been working on, he sounded a note of caution that, maybe, well, it wasn’t the sort of thing Maeve would like.

If this was a shameless attempt at reverse psychology, it worked. Interest was piqued, the conversation continued, and the result was an enchanting, hypnotic album unlike anything heard from Phil, or anyone, before. That album was ‘Life Cycling’ and it was quickly agreed that this would be the perfect record to serve as Maeve’s first full-length artist release.
