This year's Record Store Day is Saturday April 18th. You should be able to find our new LP in: OMG Zhivago in Galway, Spindizzy in Dublin, Luca Records in Waterford and Music Zone in Cork. You can also get it from our Bandcamp page (digital and vinyl). cypressmine.bandcamp.com/album/pullin...

Thank you @talldanhegarty.bsky.social

The next song is up is the new single by Cork's brilliant and returned @cypressmine.bsky.social - it's called 'Hellavaman'. Their new LP comes after a 38 year gap since their brilliant debut! And it's so good. (currently playing on #freshingredients)

Show 17 of the wobbly-but-enjoyable FRESH INGREDIENTS has drifted through a gallery, had some wine, popped some songs on a piece of paper & by Sunday we'll be good to go. Some lovely songs this week: literate indie, folk, diy scribbles, rambles. Sunday 7pm untidyradio.com Painting by Gwen Johns X

#NP Cypress, Mine! | Pulling All The Clouds Apart Barely a month into the world and the Cork postpunk band's second album continues to entice and enthrall. It's very assured, but in a lovely understated way and it's stacked with mint tunes. Surely these lads have a third in them? 👍 👌 🎶 😎

I wanna be adored #TheUnDoor

Third single from our recently released vinyl album which is available on Bandcamp cypressmine.bandcamp.com/track/hellav...

Listening to your wonderful show in Cork.

cypressmine.bandcamp.com/album/pullin... Our new album is now available to buy on vinyl or listen via new Bluesky Bandcamp embedded feature.

Fantastic mixes Mark. Should happen more often.

Last night's Fresh Ingredients radio show is now up on Mixcloud: have a listen for pentanglican pop, Indonesian clatter, much bookish whimsy and a Steely Dan joke. www.mixcloud.com/jonathanship...

Currently watching Gomorra Le Origini and I suddenly remembered I recorded this a few years back youtu.be/jdPRzRLEPSc #GomorraLeOrigini #Gomorra #Synths

Thank you! 🙏

My final video from @cypressmine.bsky.social 's in-store at Music Zone in Cork yesterday is of their indiepop SMASH, 'Sugar Beat God'. More to come soon from their proper gig Saturday night! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMVE...

My next video from @cypressmine.bsky.social at Music Zone in Cork is of their indiepop jangly banger, 'Justine': www.youtube.com/watch?v=25X9...

What a Cork-tacular weekend! I'm starting to upload my @cypressmine.bsky.social videos. They're the reason I interrupted the Suede tour to fly over. I'll first share 3 videos from their in-store at Music Zone in the Cork 'burbs. First up is new song, 'Safe Highway': www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxva...

Our first new album in 38 years on digital and 180gr black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve. Recorded and mixed by Jessica Corcoran. Produced by Cypress, Mine! in Perryvale Studios, London. Available now on Bandcamp cypressmine.bandcamp.com/album/pullin...

Mostly new-to-me sounds on Episdode 10 of #FreshIngredients this week: bubbly indie pop, very English lysergic psychedelia, a welcome return, & some lovely debuts. For fans of Television Personalities, The Times, Lou Barlow or The House of Love (in spirit, not literally). It's on Mixcloud now!

Sunset from the Marina in #Cork

The culture of actively listening to music is fading. Albums are seen as outdated, and even a 3-minute song feels too long for many.
