TUMBLE UPON

If you’ve got some nice whiskey lined up for Paddy’s Day (or any day), you need a nice glass to sip it from. This tumbler from Makers and Brothers is a beauty. M&B worked with Billy Leighton, a Jameson master blender, and The Irish Handmade Glass company in Waterford to create a glass that looks great and ensures you get the most from your dram. The base is wider to allow for a good swirl and the ridge around the middle provides a grip as well as aerating the whiskey.

HALF DONE

There’s still time to catch In The Making, an exhibition on tour from the Design Museum in London. Curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the exhibition shows objects halted mid-way through their manufacturing process. Ranging from Apple Mac computers to the humble wine cork (right), the exhibition gives a fascinating insight into manufacturing processes and shows that sometimes products are as beautiful even when they’re half-done.

And the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, there are a series of ‘drop-in design challenges’ aimed at kids and adults, in association with ID2015.

In The Making, Design Hub at Dublin Castle until March 17th. Drop-in Design Challenges, The Learning Gallery at Design Hub, March 14-17.

Nowhere boys

Pioneering new store Nowhere on Aungier Street have made it their mission to combat the uniformity of Irish menswear with straight-off-the-runway fashion and inventive, considered clothing. Totally Dublin sat down with co-owner Brian Teeling over a cup of super-fruit tea to find out what it’s like to be on the forefront of men’s fashion.

25 ROYAL HIBERNIAN WAY (STH ANNE ST. ENTRANCE), D2 | SHOP ONLINE @ TIGHTSDEPT.COM

Why did you decide to open Nowhere?

It stemmed from myself and David [Erixon] chatting about having nowhere to shop in Dublin. That’s not where the name came from! The name came from a band called Ride, an early 1990s shoegaze band from Oxford who had an album called Nowhere, which is one of my favourite albums. So it stemmed from a lack of options here – as a guy you were either restricted to Brown Thomas or the high street, and we’re not really either of them. It was something that I was working on for a while before I met David, and in January of last year we ran into each other, went for coffee to talk about what we wanted to do, and decided to balls-up, put our money where our mouth is, and open a shop.

What is the ethos behind Nowhere?

It’s not something that I generally think about, having an idea behind us that’s forced, or that there’s no room or give there, but I think, walking into the store, it’s a space that you can go and find something quite unique and also find something quite easy to wear as well. It’s a case of you finding a blue worker jacket by Craig Green, which is quite easy to

wear, and in the same vein find a big sparkly coat by Alan Taylor. You’re getting complete runway pieces and you’re also getting really ultra-wearable pieces – with a twist. There is a level of opulence of the garments we have in-store, but it’s all about detailing and a focus on fabrics and compositions, rather than luxury for luxury’s sake, or branding for massive branding’s sake. It’s extremely considered clothing.

Tell us about some of the designers that Nowhere stocks.

For S/S15 we’ve got around 15 to 20 brands in-store. It’s a mix of quite utility wear and design. We have handmade Porter bags by Yoshida from Japan, we also have Côte&Ciel bags which hold all your technology, use high-tech fabrics like rainproof nylon and rubberised cotton and bags with hoods in them for when you’re cycling. There’s Stutterheim heavy-duty raincoats with sealed sleeves broadly based on Swedish fishermen’s traditional raincoats… you’d have quite utility basics there.

Then we’d have more fashion-focussed pieces; we support a lot of London designers as well as a lot of Irish designers. I feel that London is really where it’s at now menswearwise. It’s exciting. It’s really strong at the moment, so we’d support a lot of those guys – the likes of Mathew Miller, Craig Green, Christopher Raeburn, Alan Taylor, and a couple more London designers coming in for next season, in A/W15. Craig Green really is the shit-hot designer of the moment – we have his runway pieces in-store. Christopher Raeburn

is interesting as he’s really mixing utility and fashion, in very unusual ways, like remaking jackets from disused military garments, parachute silk, fighter suits, and life-rafts.

Our Irish designers are Alan Taylor and Filthy Club. Alan has such a talent, we really like how he’s utilised an Irish fabric like tweed and made it his own, and we’re happy to see him move on from that now season after season. Filthy Club is a brand new label set up by Irish photographer Josh Gordon, we’re really excited to have Filthy Club on board, and I think it’s good to support a label in its infancy.

Then we’d have a lot of brands from Europe and the USA which complement our Irish and UK designers. A Kind of Guise from Munich have, in my opinion, the best around for men, in terms of quality of fabric and how they’re made. They often work with Steiff, the German teddy bear manufacturer, to produce astrakhan and cashmere wools. We have IMA Japanese socks, knitted in Japan, and Fanmail, which is a very ethically minded basics label from New York. We also have special books and magazines that are art and photography focussed, like Another Man, Travel Almanac, and some great books by Yayoi Kusama, and other Japanese artists. We do have a ‘top-shelf ’, let’s say, with some nude magazines – all very arty; Butt magazine, Terry Richardson, Baron mag, it’s not just erotic for the sake of it, they are genuinely interesting!

What else goes on in Nowhere?

We do hold some events here, if the idea appeals to us, but what we are really excited about is launching our web store by the end of February, so we’ll be able to sell internationally. We’ve been really focussed on our web store and working on it for a long time.

It could be seen as quite a big undertaking for such a small store, but we are capable of doing it and feel that, especially as we will be stocking Irish designers, it could give those guys a better reach too.

Where do you see men’s fashion going in Ireland?

It’s a slow process, there’s always been certain guys that do dress really well, not just for their girlfriends or other guys, and we’re seeing them come in but generally here in Ireland, a lot of men are dressing to ‘fit in’. There still is that epidemic of washed-out trouser-jean, if you walk by Coppers any night you’ll see it in the queue! But there slowly is a ‘fashion’ that you can notice – looking at Conor McGregor or the proliferation of the ‘man-bun’, five years ago you’d be pelted off the street!

When art and fashion collide

Sorcha O’Raghallaigh’s ethereal work, referencing religious iconography and her childhood spent in Birr, has cemented her reputation as the go-to designer for some of the world’s leading female music artists as well as having the freedom to release collections as and when they are ready.

Your work is as beautiful as it is inspired – what brought you to using fashion as your creative outlet?

Drawing was my first love, but from a young age I always adored clothes. I was pretty rubbish academically, art was the only thing I felt strongly about. As a teenager I became more aware of fashion as an industry, I decided then I wanted to pursue fashion design. Also going to Central Saint Martins, where I studied Fashion Knit, was a really positive experience for me! We were really given the creative freedom and space to make whatever we desired, there were no boundaries. I loved that.

What is your design process from start to finish?

Research is really important to me. I usually have one main source of inspiration and I draw the mood from that, but I also collect images that I’m drawn to all the time. Once I’ve collected enough research, I start to experiment with the textile side of things, making swatches of embellishments knits, draping these on the stand and drawing sketches inspired by these embellishments on the body, re-sketching over and over until I’m happy with a basic collection range. I’ll then start to make some toiles (mock versions of the silhouettes) and fit these on a model. We then start to alter these further, resketch, and add fabric development. This process can happen a few times until I’m happy with moving forward, then we make the collection. Things can still evolve as we are making the collection – it’s really an ongoing process right up until we shoot it!

Why do you prefer to produce smaller couture collections as opposed to the ‘onseason’ method of presentation normally found in fashion?

I prefer the ‘more is more’ approach to my pieces. Everything is created in-house including our embellishments. Some of the pieces can take months to create by hand. It’s a labour intensive process. I would rather keep things small and off-season and not compromise my aesthetic just for the sake of being on-season.

photos: Hugo YangUella

Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and most recently Kylie Minogue, have worn your creations – how did this come about? Were they collaborations?

Each of these artists have worn pieces from my collections, but I have also created custom pieces for them. When I create something custom, the process is a lot more collaborative.

I usually work closely with the stylist, so the artist’s team usually have their own inspiration and storyboard for each project. I propose a series of designs using their inspiration and then they choose from a selection of sketches.

We usually have little time to create it, usually three to four days, so it’s a much faster pace than on collection pieces. It involves a lot of problem solving, thinking on your feet and sleep-deprived nights!

How do you feel about seeing your work on such iconic musicians?

It’s quite a surreal experience! We were blasting Beyoncé every day in the studio when we were making the Forget Me Not collection, so then to see Beyoncé shaking around in one of the pieces from that collection in her video Mine was amazing! A lot of the time you get great requests but nothing comes of it, you try not to get your hopes up, so when that happened it was really exciting!

Tell us about your collaboration with Joyce boutique, Hong Kong?

Joyce in Hong Kong, H Lorenzo in LA and now Bond and Ceremony in Ireland have stocked accessories and clothing from my collection Forget Me Not which drew inspiration from the work of the artist Alfred Gilbert. I tried to capture the melancholy romantic aesthetic of Gilbert’s memorial sculptures and some of the harder three-dimensional, thorny qualities of his figure sculptures, so I began my embellishments with safety pins, something I felt possessed a harder feel and an object which I felt could be explored in two- and threedimensional embellishments.

Each of about 100,000 safety pins used was first threaded meticulously with glass bugle beads, then used to create motifs, or form wearable collars and cuffs to elaborate showpiece embellished crowns, capes and a jacket painstakingly hand-stitched entirely of safety pins. In contrast to these metallic pieces, I used delicate tulles with hand-stitched bugle bead motifs to create fragile, ethereal gowns.

I also wanted to contrast the dark mood with some playful silhouettes where I referenced Victorian harlequin costumes.

Sorcha O’Raghallaigh is stocked in Bond & Ceremony (bondandceremony.com) and you can see more of Sorcha’s work on sorchaoraghallaigh.com

Its much cosier, shoulderto-shoulder affair where an unbeatable Guinness is only a quick shuffle away and commenting on overheard banter is de rigeur.

There’s a reason that Nearys has remained so consistent over the decades - the formula works. Housed in an elegant slice of Edwardian Dublin with its old-world interior still in pride of place, the early evening buzz in Nearys is a rare sight to behold. With a crowd ranging from theatre-goers and thespians from the nearby Gaiety to local suits and Grafton shoppers, Dave and his team of old-school barmen will take care of all your needs.

One of the city’s most adored watering holes, Mulligans of Poolbeg Street was originally a shebeen before it went legit all the way back in 1782, making it amongst the oldest licensed premises in Dublin city and just a few years younger than Arthur Guinness’ famous brewery. Inside, the walls creak with the weight history and a thousand forgotten conversations long lost to the passage of time. But aside from that, it has a reputation for two things - great Guinness and great barmen. No music, no television, none of yer fancy stuff, only the essentials are present in this landmark establishment.

Fixer upper dinner at

The Peppercorn

The Workshop, 10 Georges Quay Dublin 2 01-6770626

L

ike many of my fellow Totally Dubliners, I can fall into the trap of thinking that things that are old and broken are authentic and cool. I loved Kennedy’s for its odd red stools, formica tables, and the late nights I spent there. That pub, as you may have known it, has vanished. In its place is The Workshop, a gastropub serving craft beers with a restaurant called The Peppercorn above.

John Kennedy, of the family that has owned this building since the 1960s, approached serial restaurant manager Emmet Maher last year about taking it over. ‘We wanted to keep the same authenticity of the pub so we kept it simple. We’re a bar with a restaurant, not the other way around,’ Maher tells me. ‘We wanted to do it and to do it right.’

Maher has 25 years in the industry, most recently managing The Chophouse. You can tell; everything is simple here but done right. We are brought upstairs for dinner to a dining room that overlooks the Liffey with its original fireplace and antique mirrors from France. The effect is stunning.

Head Chef Paul Dwyer, formerly of Dax and The

Chophouse has prepared a dinner menu full of enticing staples. We plump for the fishboard (€12), a generous tasting of hake tempura, smoked salmon, crab salad, crispy fishcake and saffron aioli that would easily feed two.

The Quinoa Power Salad (€8.50) is huge too, more like a vibrant lunch dish than an evening starter. It’s one of the only vegetarian dishes on the menu so perhaps it’s intended to double up as a main course for non-omnivores.

This generosity means we are pretty full by the time our mains come but we struggle on. Our bowl of steamed mussels swim in a sweet lemongrass, chilli and ginger coconut milk broth (€8.50 as a starter or €16) and the frites that accompany it are twice-cooked and crispy. My beef cheek bourguignon (€18) is as you would expect it; rich, deep, dark and oozing flavour. There’s a creamy, almost velvety mash on the side, which is much appreciated. More so than the thin strips of carrots that sit on top of the mash, which seem more ornamental than nutritional.

Perhaps a less misleading garnish or a full commitment to the carrots would be better next time.

Maher tells us over our shared dessert of a warm,

well-made chocolate and hazelnut brownie with pistachio ice-cream about the inspiration for the name of the pub.

His grandfather, who was a master-cabinet maker, had a workshop in his back garden and Maher remembers regularly visiting the workshop as a boy and being awestruck.

The Peppercorn looks out over what once was a working dock; the idea of a working quay and a workshop seemed to fit. Maher’s grandfather’s tools are displayed in the pub, hanging next to photographs of the old docks in their heyday.

Our bill, which includes a beer, a non-alcoholic gingerbased cocktail that’s made with care and a coffee comes to €73.10.

Sometimes things work better when they’re fixed. I hate to sound disloyal but I had almost forgotten entirely about Kennedy’s as I left The Workshop. It’s a beautiful location that is being used to its full potential; and with the grandfather’s tools and the work dock idea, there’s still plenty of nostalgia knocking around this pub in the shadow of the Tara Street Dart Station.

make it yourself Bircher Porridge with Pistachios and Cardamom This is the first range of Arran Street East. Seeing as breakfast is the first meal of the day, we’re pleased to share one of our favourite porridge recipes with you. Bircher porridge soaks oats in apple juice (or milk or water) as opposed to cooking over a stove. The oats need at least 15 minutes to absorb the apple juice but you can get ahead of yourself by leaving them to soak overnight, ready to eat first thing in the morning.

Recipe and photograph by Aoife McElwain for Arran Street East

Ingredients 200g porridge oats 500ml apple juice 4 cardamom pods A handful of unsalted pistachio nuts, shelled Runny honey

Method Place the oats in a large bowl. Pour the apple juice into the bowl. Stir with a spoon so that the oats are covered by the liquid.

Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes so that the oats can absorb the apple juice.

Give it a stir from time to time to help it on its way.

Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and finely chop. Roughly chop the pistachio nuts.

Divide the porridge between two Arran Street East bowls. Divide the cardamom seeds between the bowls and mix through the porridge.

Sprinkle each bowl with pistachio nuts.

Finish with a drizzle of honey.

Welcome to Zaragoza, where you’ll find deliciously fresh Mediterranean tapas served with the warmest Irish welcome.

Sasha House Petite

If you’re looking for more from coffee, The Dublin Barista School is the place. A dedicated training centre, offering two-hour lessons in espresso basics or an intensive threeday course to earn their Qualified Barista Award. Dublin Barista School is also the place to pick up any coffee accoutrements, whether you want to weigh it, grind it or pour it. As well as offering the knowledge and the gear, they serve up incredible value take-out coffee which they roast themselves (everything is €2), or even a filter coffee which they source their beans from The Barn, a Berlinbased roastery. Open Mon-Sun 9am-4pm

Roasted Brown quickly established itself as one of Dublin’s top coffee spots and one of Temple Bar’s nicest hangouts.

Baristas Ferg Brown and Rob Lewis serve beautiful coffee using a variety of beans and brew methods. But it doesn’t stop with coffee, Roast Brown’s food is all prepared on site; gourmet sandwiches, organic soups and delicious sweet treats. They also serve a top notch brunch on weekends and have recently begun roasting their own beans too.

Talk about not even knowing what you were missing until it is right in front of you! The latest addition to the Dublin cafe scene is the wonderful and quirky Sasha House Petite – a micro-roastery, French/Slavic pastry bar that will entice even the most diligent of dieters with the mouthwatering “signature desserts” and breakfast menus. Sasha House Petite’s specialties – from the Sacher Torte to the Pork Belly Bread – are delightfully refined and fresh; and if you’d rather go for some specialty coffee, you’ll be able to choose from a selection of several aromas and tastes, carefully picked and micro-roasted in house.

Berlin D2

•••••••• SPILL THE BEANS DAN WATSON FROM BERLIN D2

Can you tell me about your background and how you got started in this business?

I’ve been working in cafes and restaurants for about 20 years off and on; back home in New Zealand, in London, and here as well. But this place came about just by pure chance. We got offered the space and we had been toying with the idea of doing a project like this, so we grabbed it.

You’ve put a lot of work and thought into the atmosphere, especially the music here. What’s inspired this?

It’s from spending time in Berlin. The whole structure of the interior is based on various cafes.

I’ve kind of just taken elements of different cafes that I liked hanging out in in Berlin, and brought them all over here. Musically though, as well as everything else that’s going on around Dublin, it’s all about being very experimental and leftfield.

You mentioned that you take a lot of things from other cafes, so what would you say makes Berlin really unique?

Quite a lot of things. We’re trying to be more than a café, I don’t think we could even call ourselves a café anymore! It’s really nice the way this space morphs during the day, it goes from a café in the morning, but less so in the afternoon. And then it’s more like a bar and a restaurant in the evening.

The whole vibe and the lighting changes as the day goes on, and the clientele as well. It’s a very versatile space.

It’s tricky though, we’ve had people walk in and say, ‘Oh, this used to be a café.’ And it clearly is at

times still, and then other times it really doesn’t look like a café. It’s kind of fun to see how people view it when they come in here for the first time.

It’s obviously not a space for everybody. But for the people that get it, I think they really enjoy being in here.

What about some of the events you host here, like the Sunday market?

We’ve been doing yoga classes in the mornings, a Sunday market, getting DJs in, and live music is on the way, and barbecuing. We had our own Berlin fashion show during the Dublin Fashion Week.

We try and be as diverse and possible. We’ve got our new book shop that’s open now. So we’re working really hard to bring interesting publications in. The more local ones the better. We’ve got a series of vinyl releases planned, and a clothing line as well. We’ve been really busy trying to get things off the ground. Obviously, it’s really hard to get everything happening at the same time.

But there are a lot of new projects in the go at the same time, and hopefully some of them will fly.

Do you have plans for the future of Berlin?

With the clothing, we’re getting our spring and summer collection ready. And then firing up the barbecue in the evening and having steaks, and schnitzels, and chicken in the summer to complement our German beers. A lot of live music events in the summer, more DJs, and a lot of little quirky things that we shouldn’t really be doing as a café, and getting away with it.

Located at the back of the Powerscourt Town House, Berlin D2 is a new cafe that is saying a big “Hallo” to Dublin’s city centre since it opened earlier this year. Serving Ariosa coffee, Berlin D2 has a relaxed vibe in the style of the city from which it takes its name. Also on the menu are a selection of sweet treats, and a some accoutrements straight out of the German capital: a DJ booth playing crisp electronica, Sunday markets, morning yoga classes, ping-pong competitions and an fledgling bookshop with art and photography books and magazines. Recently they’ve added a beer license (serving predominantly German beers) with Fischers Helles and Guinness on draft as well as an evening menu with schnitzel, bratwurst and marinated chicken.

Busy Bean Cafe

Kaph

Café Gray opened its second outlet on Dawson Street and is attracting a lot of interest. Owned by Robert Gray, it serves legendary 3fe coffee, loose leaf teas from Clement & Pekoe as well as cold pressed juice from Sprout Food for non-coffee drinkers. Their food offering is based on the best Irish artisan producers and the sandwiches, soup and salad are some of the best in town and the prices are very keen compared to the chains. Go before the crowds do!

147 Deli is a small independent delicatessen that is passionate about local, seasonal ingredients and great coffee, located in the heart of Chinatown on Parnell Streett beside North Great Georges Street. Everything is cooked and prepared on-site which includes smoking their own meats and fish for their mouthwatering sandwiches and salads. The menu includes sandwiches, soups, salads and freshly made juices with weekly specials. Great decor, friendly staff, good music and big in the game when it comes to sandwiches.

Located on Molesworth Street, Busy Bean Café is a very welcoming home from home. Amongst the favourites on offer is an array of fresh baked scones and breads, homemade soups, daily carvery sandwiches, pasta dishes, salads and a plethora of gourmet signature sandwiches. Simply put, their philosophy is to serve real food and real coffee at a real price where you will always be made welcome. Busy Bean Cafe also offers catering for offices and events. Open Mon-Fri 7am-5pm and Sat 9am-5pm.

Kaph, the newest addition to the creative quarter at 31 Drury Street is an independent speciality coffee shop with a difference. From its red industrial stools, upcycled mannequin window display cushions, to an aged copper bar, the café flirts with Scandinavian minimalism, playing an eclectic mix of new folk and electronic.

For the folks at Kaph, it’s all about the coffee, from the Anfim grinders to the Nuova Simonelli mothership, they are dedicated to serving you the best brew.

Wall & Keogh Tea Lounge

KC Peaches

Grove Road Café

Science Gallery Café

Wall and Keogh is the original. It’s the tea company that made loose leaf tea important again, with a location to enjoy your cuppa in that compares to no other. They have a full café attached and all the baked goods are homemade. Just go see for yourself, it’s wholesale & retail tea of the highest grade.

A New York-style loft newly established on Dame Street, KC Peaches is the ultimate hangout for tourists, students and working professionals. Serving natural, wholesomely enhanced all-day dining options, you leave the cafe feeling truly nourished by nature. Unlike anywhere else in Dublin, their hot and cold buffet options are delicious, convenient and affordable. With everything priced per plate size you can pile high on that wholesome goodness but make sure to leave room for their famous cheesecake brownie. The philosophy is simple: ‘Eat well, live well.’ Mon 8am-8pm, Tue-Fri 8am-10pm, Sat 9am-10pm, Sun 11am-6pm

Grove Road is the latest addition to the flourishing Dublin speciality café scene and is apparently the new place to be seen in Dublin 6! It boasts a bright and inviting space with a rugged yet contemporary interior, and sweeping panoramic views of the canal. At Grove Road they are very proud of many things: their consistently great coffee which is supplied by Roasted Brown in Temple Bar and their fresh delicious food and treats to name but a couple. It has also been said that they have the friendliest staff the city has to offer!

Mon-Fri 7.30am-6pm. Brunch Sat 9am-4pm.

Set in the super-cool surroundings of Science Gallery, Science Gallery Café is one of the city’s most interesting meeting places. This bright, contemporary space is home to an enthusiastic team serving up fresh food and great coffee. In fact, café owner Peter is so passionate about coffee that he decided to roast his own, and Science Gallery became the first place in Dublin to serve the amazing Cloud Picker Coffee, handroasted here in Dublin City Centre. You can also choose from a great menu that includes everything from Peter’s Mum’s Beef Goulash Stew to the student takeaway soup-sambo-fruit combo deals (for only €5!)

AUDIO REVIEWS Ivan Deasy Tom Carroll Daniel Gray Ian Lamont Danny Wilson

Mount Eerie Sauna [P.W. Elverum & Sun]

The Cribs For All My Sisters [Sony]

Dan Deacon Gliss Riffer [Domino]

Off the back of his considerable achievements as The Microphones, Phil Elverum has been subject to a level of fanboy dedication unlike that offered to the majority of his contemporaries. His instantly recognisable reedy voice and manic fluctuation between whisper quiet and ear bleed loud extremes stirs a particular place in the hearts of sad acts (your reviewer included) the world over.

Every Mount Eerie release manages to accrue a certain amount of ardent support but Sauna feels remarkable even with the consistency of Elverum’s oeuvre. As the record gently unfurls from the opening ambient textures through to rumbling, lethargic indie and into skeletal folk and modernclassical xylophone plonks, it becomes apparent that we have a gem of meditative headphone music on our hands.

Sauna’s array of ambient sounds provide each track with an air of geographic specificity that Elverum then toys with, blurring the distinction between what’s soothing steam and what are bracing blasts of freezing fog. Though rarely treading the same sonic ground as the black metal he became obsessed with recently, Elverum shares a similar mental landscapes of leafless branches stretching toward an infinite, unknowable sky.

Simultaneously unshackled in scope while claustrophobic in tone, top-to-bottom Phil’s latest is wholly brilliant. DW

The Jarman brothers’ renouncement of scrapheap indie for scrappy Superchunk wig-outs has lent an unexpected longevity to the Topman playlist mainstays that made their name. Ironically, it’s the fruits of their mid-career turn towards respectable alt-rock that have had a short shelf-life. Where their more recent albums have been easy to laud but difficult to love, For All My Sister’s rapprochement with yappy pop yanks Wakefield’s finest back into relevancy. DG

Gliss Riffer is the sound of Dan Deacon finally hitting the sweet spot between his two most prevalent modes: the Steve Reich inspired acoustic percussion-based maximalism seen on his sophomore release, Bromst, and the kaleidoscopic, bangers with which he made his name. Both modes combine here to make perhaps the most clear and holistic document of Deacon’s unique set of skills.

Thus, Gliss Riffer is as fine starting point for the uninitiated as it is a boon for the hardcore, regardless the kind of Deac they dig. DW

Tobias Jesso Jr. Goon [Beggars Group]

Tim Warfield Spherical [Criss Cross]

Compared to those lumped in ‘1970s songwriter’ bracket (Natalie Prass and Father John Misty), and indeed the originals, Jesso’s music is far plainer, his rudimentary piano playing coming off more like Daniel Johnson than Randy Newman. Not that keyboard dexterity is any measure of the songwriter (for example, on Jesso’s plaintive YouTube breakout True Love, sadly missing here), but Goon, while pleasant is a bit one-paced to hang with the lofty references it hopes to. IL

Dedicated to the immortal jazzer Thelonious Monk, and with a virtuoso quintet of Eddie Henderson (trumpet), Orin Evans (piano), Ben Wolfe (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums) on board, Spherical should have you running to the shops. After the opening bars of Blue Hawk you’ll be saying, ‘I’m so glad I have this CD.’ By the time you get to the closer Round Midnight, you will be repeating, ‘By God, do I ever love jazz.’ This CD is the real business.

AUDIO REVIEWS

Natalie Prass Natalie Prass [Spacebomb] Despite some higher profile names attached to Prass’ musical biography – she worked as a backing musician for Jenny Lewis and the record was produced by Domino artist Matthew E. White – her self-titled debut arrived, it felt, a little out of nowhere. Most surprising for this singer-songwriter is how elaborate it is. Its soulful pop is built on really delightful, big-picture arrangements: strings, brass and flutes weave all around Prass’ voice calling to mind the early work of the late Laura Nyro.

IL

Enablers The Rightful Pivot [Lancashire and Somerset / Exile on Mainstream] The fifth in a sequence of consistently astonishing records by this group of San Francisco underground lifers. New drummer Sam Ospovat brings some improvisational jazz chops to tracks like Enopolis and Look while twin guitars crank out discordant, oddly tuned beauty like an intoxicated Television over Pete Simonelli’s post-Beat tales of city dwelling drunks, losers and users and the brief moments of clarity and meaning that occur in between the grind of constant living. ID

Dutch Uncles O Shudder [Memphis Industries]

Jeff Bridges Sleeping Tapes [Self-released]

Dutch Uncle’s fourth full length draws on ‘80s electropop with a view to skewing well worn tropes, pairing them with lyrics concerning social media, terrorism and general millennial dread. Unfortunately, the intriguing-on-paper premise is ultimately failed by the forgettable nature of the end product, too often settling on a kind of saccharine, throwaway sound in the vein of Phoenix if not as overtly anthemic or a notionally more thoughtful but only marginally less shite version of Passion Pit. DW

As a somewhat troubled slumberer, I can speak to the efficacy of this record as a sleeping aid, as it took me four attempts to get through the entire thing. The musical component is functional, if a bit bland, but with his seemingly limitless supply of avuncular jocularity and a voice that sounds like cigarettes and caramel, I could listen to Jeff Bridges talk shite until the end of days. The strangest and best novelty record by a celebrity since William Shatner’s Has Been. ID

Bob Dylan Shadows in the Night [Columbia] Anyone who’s dug on late-era Bob knows that as far back as, say, Po’ Boy on “Love and Theft” or maybe even Standing In The Doorway from 1997’s Time Out Of Mind, he’s dealt in the kind of delicately performed, jazz-chorded vignettes found throughout Shadows in the Night. And more recently Bob has honed this particular seam of 1950s Americana on ballads like When The Deal Goes Down and even on more uptempo jives like Duquesne Whistle.

This woebegone collection of past-midnight excerpts from the Sinatra songbook takes that theme to extremes. Whereas in recent times he’s borrowed lyrical phrases from the American songbook and from Harry Smith’s Folk Anthology, this time he’s outright covering – or ‘uncovering’ as the man himself puts it – old songs. And singing fantastically, it should be added, with a voice far clearer than it has been for years. In preparation for tribute to the pipes of Old Blue Eyes, Dylan apparently even let up on the smokes, such is his reverence for this classy, old world material. Let’s just hope he’s not really as heartbroken as he sounds, poor fella. IL Like this? Try these: Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours The Band - The Band Jacques Brel - La Valse A Mille Temps

LA RÉSERVE

The MEETING HOUSE

A worthy challenger for the city’s best burger is flying off hot plates in Generator Dublin. The burgeoning foodie scene has produced some truly delicious burgers and competition is fierce. Harking back to the traditional American hamburger with the finest ingredients, this burger, developed by Generator chef; Alex McCutcheon , took six months to perfect, sourcing Mullingar Black Heifer beef, the bespoke artisan buns exclusively developed to compliment the beef. The bacon, from apple-fed free-range West-Cork pigs from Gubeen farm is too tempting to deny.

Located in the heart of Ranelagh village, La Réserve Brasserie serves up a special, mouth watering brunch menu Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm. Delicious, healthy options such as crispy waffles with fresh berries, organic eggs Florentine, as well as traditional Irish breakfast (locally sourced) and Chef Jérôme’s legendary savoury and sweet crêpes are just some features of the hand selected brunch menu.Top off your meal with a champagne or artisan cider for the perfect morning out. Everything on the menu is prepared using the freshest of ingredients on a daily basis. Don’t take our word for it; come and taste it all for yourself.You won’t be disappointed.Call Sé now to reserve at 01-4968825.

Set on to Meeting House Square in the heart of Temple Bar, the Meeting House is unapologetically hip: the walls are tattooed in graffiti, there’s craft beer on tap and the 999 Menu full of delicious tasting plates where everything on the menu, from Sashimi Tacos to Mini Asian Burgers is, you guessed it, €9.99.The friendly and attentive staff will make sure you have a whale of a time, whether you’re just meeting friends after work or out for the whole night, so why not arrange a rendez-vous?

RETURNING TO HAIFA

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

IZAKAYA

Returning to Haifa is one of the most iconic works of Palestinian resistance literature. There will be post-show discussions with guest speakers on Monday 2nd and Saturday 7th March.

Please check website for details. “a remarkably even-handed portrait of dispossession and revisiting”, “Fox and Bates stoke the heat of resistance”, “supple and thought-provoking” - The Irish Times Adapted by Angela Gissi, Directed by Anthony Fox Cast: Michael Bates, Linda Teehan, Aneta Dina Keder, Ciaran McCabe Production Coordinator: Fatin Al-Tamimi

The interactive Jameson Cult Film Club screening during the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival is widely regarded as one of the most hotly anticipated events in the programme, and this year is no different. Jameson are kicking off the 2015 series of Jameson Cult Film Club’s with Guy Richie’s iconic crime comedy, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels on Wednesday, March 24th. Organisers will be challenged with transporting the audience right into the heart of London’s East End as the complex plot unravels.The venue, which is only revealed to ticket holders, will be completely transformed into a series of sets from the movie, while live theatre and special effects timed perfectly with on-screen action will help to create an electric atmosphere throughout the screening.

Tickets to this exclusive screening are free, register now for your chance to win on jamesoncultfilmclub.ie

Izakaya has an amazing cocktail list, one which will not disappoint. You will never have experienced something so lemony and yet so intensely creamy until you’ve experienced one of their Whisky Sours. They are unbelievably good. We think it’s the care and love of the chatty bartenders that gives it that little bit extra.

INK FACTORY

MISS KITTIN AT HANGAR

The National Print Museum

The Ink Factory is Dublin’s newest urban social space; incorporating custom Tattooing, Barbering and Cloud Picker Coffee in the heart of the city centre. With stunning art adorning the walls and a vibrant atmosphere about the place, this is an experience not to be missed. So if you’re looking for quality Ink, Coffee, Piercing or Barbering in a super chilled setting then come visit the guys @ The Ink Factory and they’ll hook you up! Open 7 days a week.

Quite possibly one of our biggest shows to date. We’re absolutely delighted and excited to welcome Miss Kittin to the Hangar warehouse. Miss Kittin is an act we’ve followed for years. From her early Electro clash releases on International DeeJay Gigolos with The Hacker & Felix Da Housecat, through to her techno collaborations with Sven Vath, Steve Bug, Ellen Allien and most recently her huge hit with Dubfire, we’ve loved it all.

Buried away at the back of the old Beggers Bush Barracks in the gorgeous old Oratory Building is the National Print Museum. It’s a haven for geeks with a penchant for Heidelberg’s.

There are weekly workshops, video documentary screenings and an opportunity to see some of these beautiful antique machines in action. Feats of engineering that made the newspaper possible and which created some of the most decisive documents in history are on display – while the museum is the home of the original Irish Proclamation until 2016.There is a mezzanine floor which acts as a gallery and a kiddie area, while the recently revamped Press Café has delicious sambos and goodies. A nice visit for all the family.
