Best name of the week goes to 'St Catherine's Home For Lazy Infants' and they're brand new album 'Old Ghosts' on the Slow Loris label. What a great name for a band!! The CD is packaged in a '2-layer stenciled and stamped chipboard sleeve with insert.' It's a lovely looking thing. Whack it on your beatbox stereo system and you'll be instantly wowed by the lush sounds on offer. Loads of psychedelic loopy guitar noises and bedroom electronics with some lush guitar pluckery and lots of shimmery hazey sound effects all wanged together into a delicious pot of soup with the word coherent written on the bowl. It works really well as it dashes from droney loopy effects to more simple tunes with just acoustic guitar. The mood ranges from sombre to playful in no time. An excellent debut from someone to watch out for I reckon!!

What their label says...

St. Catherine's Home for Lazy Infants: "Old Ghosts" (Slow Loris)

"Old Ghosts" is the debut album by St. Catherine's Home for Lazy
Infants, released on the Irish independent label Slow Loris (home to
Northstation / At Last an Atlas / The Hollows / Paul G. Smyth /

St. Catherine's Home for Lazy Infants is essentially the solo imprint
of Alex Synge, Dublin-based musician and member of a number of bands
including The Dewoh and Toothsticks. He builds up layers of guitar,
synth, organ, minimal piano as well as a wide range of toy instruments
and found sounds to create warm, swirling and delicate instrumentals
to fill your ears as the winter creeps in.

The album comes packaged in a hand-assembled chipboard arigato-pack
sleeve featuring a two-layer hand-painted stencil by The First 47.
