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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll songs composed, performed, recorded \u0026amp; mixed by Two Nice Catholic Boys \u003cbr\u003eTwo Nice Catholic Boys is: Ruairí McCann and Maximilien Luc Proctor \u003cbr\u003eMastering by Sam Regan \u003cbr\u003eDrawings by Ruairí McCann \u003cbr\u003eCover design by MLP \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack 2 features samples taken from the Symphony for a Broken Orchestra Project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo Nice Catholic Boys would like to thank: \u003cbr\u003eNicholas Christenson, James Devine, Christian Flemm, Blanca García, Larry Gottheim, Malkah Manouel, Ryan O’Neill, Yoana Pavlova, Bart Versteirt, Elspeth Vischer, Mark Willis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuairí McCann would like to thank: \u003cbr\u003eMarek Alozie, Rose Asaf, the cast of Park Place, the cats of Ormeau Road, the rows and magpies of Ormeau Park, Aaron Donnelly, Noreen Donnelly, Dymphna Ferran, Stevie Lennox, the Leydon family, Laura MacLennan, the McCann family, Shona Millar. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMLP would like to thank: \u003cbr\u003ephili c., Ece Akin, Duru Aygüven, Spencer Bible, Bobi, Martin Bremer, Phil Coldiron, Hasan Doguyel, Tom Grimshaw, Jack Katze, Tijana Perović, Sam Regan, žarko Urošević, Florian Weigl, Kris Woods, Charlotte Wynant. \u003cbr\u003eAnd my family: Maman \u0026amp; David, Chris O., Pops \u0026amp; Anty, Rafi, Ray \u0026amp; Katie.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bluestack Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53318676578647,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9074\/6711\/files\/TNCBsThreeCheersCoverArt.jpg?v=1776343203","url":"https:\/\/f98e38-3.myshopify.com\/products\/two-nice-catholic-boys-three-cheers-for-the-distant-observer","provider":"Bluestack Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
