Three Cheers for the Distant Observer, the new EP from Two Nice Catholic Boys released digitally on tape by Bluestack Records.
Two Nice Catholic Boys formed in the Spring of 2020 as a collaborative music project between writer and illustrator Ruairí McCann and writer and filmmaker Maximilien Luc Proctor, both co-editors of the film and music website Ultra Dogme.
The band was formed and continues to grow as an act of friendship; fueled by the desire to make music that is ‘catholic’, in the egalitarian sense of the word. Their music pointedly and playfully wavers at the border between genres, combining rock and pop songwriting with an experimental approach to texture, structure and the inclusion of found sound bound together through the happy accidents of improvisation and the precision of laptop-based editing.
After self-releasing two albums in 2022, Two Nice Catholic Boys make their label debut with Three Cheers for the Distant Observer. Influenced by Loren Connors (from whose 2009 album with Jim O’Rourke the band found their name) this release finds the band exploring a minimalist sound and a semi-improvised approach within the productive limits of short, song-like structures.
