Go Bury Your Monsters (GBYM) is the realisation of a project that grew from the scatterings and seeds of ideas lying around on Shayne Byrne’s (Owner, Ragged Company Recordings) hard drive.
On there, were the dozens of demos; riffs, 30 second clips, synth daydreams, and sometimes only 12 bars of music that Darragh J. Glennon, Shayne Byrne, Stephen Young and Brian Murphy took and transformed into the melodies and music that is now Body Language; the four-song EP that owes as much to 1980s Peter Gabriel as it does to The War On Drugs.
Working remotely – aside from Byrne, at his studio, RaggedSound, in County Carlow – Young (living in Italy), Murphy (living in Westmeath) and Glennon (living in Spain), the four musicians took the elements they found and spent 18 months delving into the original material to create compositions that pushed their own boundaries and yet, grasped at something that was, to their ears, a collage of retro and contemporary.
Working across country and county borders, the four made use of modern technology: Byrne (Producer, drums, keyboards, guitars) would usually send the demos on to Young (Vocalist), who would then arrange the songs at his home studio, often in tandem with Byrne. Young brought up the theme of using the human body as a theme for the EP, each song using a bodily organ figuratively but often metaphorically in the lyrics.
From this, the band expounded on the theme to create a soundscape that pulsed and breathed even more life into the songs: Glennon (Bass – from his home studio in Spain) provided the bedrock for Murphy (Guitars – at his home studio in Mullingar) along with Byrne on drums, keyboards and synthesizers. Together the four pieced together what would become Body Language, the first EP from Go Bury Your Monsters.
‘Deliver For You’ is the final single to be taken from the released alongside the EP everywhere on July 11th.
