Arrive Alive
On 30th June KEELEY, fronted by singer, guitarist, songwriter and enigmatic Dubliner Keeley Moss, released their debut album “Floating Above Everything Else” on Dimple Discs.
It’s a debut album brimming with songs that showcase the breadth of KEELEY’s songwriting, bristling with lush harmonies, muscular beats and inventive atmospherics, weaving gleefully between indie-rock sub-genres and further establishing her as one of Ireland's most creative songwriters.
From the glorious haze of “Seeing Everything” to the riveting finale of “Shine A Light”, a blistering cover of Spiritualized’s 1992 epic, aided by mixes from veteran producer Paul Tipler (Stereolab, Placebo, The House Of Love), Keeley and producer Alan Maguire make sure each song is a confection, a box of musical chocolates stamped with a unique Irish swirl.
Upon hearing “Shine A Light” Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) exclaimed... "It’s always touching to hear someone put their own spin on one of my own efforts…and with so much energy and enthusiasm. It’s pretty massive”
As with all her songs, this set highlights Keeley's ongoing fascination with the murder and short life of teenage German backpacker Inga Maria Hauser, who was brutally murdered in Northern Ireland in 1988 and whose case remains unsolved despite many promising leads pointing to the culprits. As an authority on the subject, Keeley recently appeared in "Murder In The Badlands", a moving BBC documentary that became a top-trending Netflix hit in the UK and Ireland last year. A brand new film centered around Keeley's involvement with the case is in development and will hit the film festival circuit in 2025.
On the live front, Keeley has recruited former Morrissey drummer Andrew Paresi to join herself and bassist Lukey Foxtrot as they continue to hone their often incendiary live sets. (Video: Live in Blackpool)
