Electro-pop from Kilkenny? That’s what Supernova Scotia provide. It’s catchy, quirky and light on the vocals. David Sheenan is the man behind the music, and with a little help from his friends, especially Jazz Panda’s Neil Quigley (who’s own lovely song ‘Chritmas Eve’ is destined to be pillaged by mobile phone marketing execs), he records and perfoms live.

Tracks such as ‘Bad Party’ and ‘Tron’ remind me somewhat of Soft Cell, while at the more instrumental end of things, between ‘Oxen’ and ‘Boredom Abroad’, Supernova Scotia’s obvious talent for making great little electro-pop gems shines. They just go to show that as more and more young Irish electronic artists emerge there is no dilution of quality. In contrast, home-grown electronic music is currently blooming and with the endeavours of such acts is becoming a stronger genre by the day.
