The Holy Roman Army - Elegy

Xiu Xiu - Muppet Face

These two songs share a certain feeling in common. Maybe it's the same kind of phenomenon that makes unhappy people sometimes look really, really good. Like being awkward and alone at a party, and happily putting away hard little drinks, seeing the room twist and blur in the strobe lighting, stumbling over the feet of strangers, heads turning. Nights like that, where your only real hope is of finding a corner to collapse in with someone else - someone equally as faulty in the way they work, and willing to admit it.

The Holy Roman Army are a brother and sister from Carlow (living in Dublin), who make beautiful electronic music for long nights. Learn more here.
