BACKGROUND
ON ARTIST/ALBUM
Channel
One are a Dublin based four-piece who use a mixture
of electronic and live instrumentation to create
their sound. The band are currently preparing a
new live show to mark the November release of their
debut LP ‘Sound to Light’. Self-produced
and recorded mainly in their own studio, the album
marries the group’s various sounds, with
layers of guitar, krautrock rhythms, electronica
and modulated vocals producing textures and melodies
that are both filmic and familiar. The record captures
both the intensity and ambience of the band’s
live shows, making for a potent mix of the synthenic
and the organic, the instrumental and the vocal.
Forming from the remains of various punk/noise
outfits the group’s initial motivation was
to recreate certain kinds of melodic electronica
and techno in a live band setting. Gradually more
instruments and vocals were added, resulting in
many driving, hypnotic, wall-of-noise style live
shows that earned the band their initial reputation.
From memorable early performances in basements
such as The Hub or 2005’s Electric Picnic
the group have gone on to play at SXSW in Texas,
CMJ in New York, The Viper Room in L.A., Razmattaz
in Barcelona, Popkomm in Berlin and various shows
and festivals around Ireland and Europe.
In 2005/2006 the band released two limited vinyl-only
singles (sold-out) 'Not For the Last Time' and
'Accelerate Brake/Fun Radio'. A free download-only
EP (singles and remixes) was also made available.
In 2007 the 'Permissions' EP was released to much
acclaim. The debut LP ‘Sound to Light’ is
to be released in November 2009.
