Clonmel-based electronic artist, Culla, teams up with Limerick Indie Pop Quintet, Dylan Flynn and The Dead Poets, on the new EP, ‘Like It Never Happened’.The EP was written, produced, and mixed by Flynn and Culla, with Gavin Murray, the drummer of the Dead Poets mixing the closing track, ‘Miles’. Both artists are founding members of the Limerick-based collective, BitDepth.

‘Like It Never Happened’ is a diverse collection of tracks that surge with rich rhythms and refined instrumentation. Kicking off with the instrumental ‘Microscope’ the EP sets itself up to be a rich and unique collection of songs. This track oozes swagger as the guys melt intricately weaved guitar lines into a swirling thick electronic soundscape while warm saxophones inject a jazzy mellow element into the mix. Boasting deft production and dense percussive textures ‘Microscope’ is the perfect appetiser to the following track ‘Mellow Green’.The electronic pulse continues throughout ‘Mellow Green’ as beats ricochet off a swirling soundscape of bright guitars and lush instrumentation. This track ventures between R&B and indie-pop while velvety vocals create a soothing and moving atmosphere. ‘Miles’ brings the EP to a tender ballad-esque finale. Its rich blend of indie-folk radiates a heartwarming tone while the easy on the ears melody, steady beat, and soft guitar twinkles exude an irresistible charm. This is the most commercial track on the EP – laced in wholesome tones and bittersweet nostalgia it’s a moving and soothing end to the EP.

Culla and Dylan Flynn and The Dead Poets weave golden laid back melodies through their vibrant and kinetic sound to create a mellow yet engaging listening experience. Their unique blend of instrumentation and production techniques is refreshing and results in a well crafted and vibrant three-track EP.
