Irish musician, DJ and broadcaster Graham Smyth releases his debut album Music For Babies To Rave And Sleep To on September 5th via Practise Music.
A limited number of 12” vinyl records will be available to pre-order online from Bandcamp and selected retailers in Ireland: Tower Records(Dublin), Spindizzy (Dublin), Steamboat(Limerick) and Music Zone (Cork).
A truly unique album, Music For Babies To Rave And Sleep To is designed to be enjoyed by children and adults alike, featuring two distinct sonic palates with a toy piano on Side A and a toy kalimba on Side B. Both sides of the album feature music for raving and for sleeping with interludes between for the build up and come down.
Graham Smyth says: “The whole concept of this record is for parents and their little ones to enjoy it together and what better way than sliding a wax record out of this beautifully designed cover by Max Halley and letting the needle drop on a world of sonic fun.”
The record has been pressed by Anthem Vinyl, the new vinyl pressing facility that was recently opened in Co. Kildare. Smyth says: “Having a physical version of this record ties in with my intentions for the album to be listened to by parents and their little ones together. It is fantastic to have a vinyl pressing plant back on Irish shores. It is the icing on the fairy cake!”
