Mr. Juno Falls (Myles O Reilly) plays solo most of the time. Some of the time he rehearses and plays with 3 other players depending on who is available. In the last year Juno Falls live has included Daz Keating, Dave Lawless, Stephen Mogerly and Myles brother Rossa O Reilly (whose profile is featured in Juno Falls friends).
The heavenly strings heard on the Atom Bomb EP and throughout the album 'Weightless' were all written and performed by the gracious and otherworldy Cora Venus Lunny.
Many of the additional instruments you hear from the album 'Weightless' have been played by the extraordinarily talented Ken McHugh (Autamata), recorded from his studio in Wicklow.
Highly recommend: Elbow, Liam Finn, Interference, Joan as police woman, Low (current greatest song of all time, Low: the point of disgust), Bonnie Prince Billy, Daniel Lanois, Tim Easton (check out 'dear old song and dance'), Joni Mitchell (first 4 records) Radiohead (no alarms or surprises there!), Iron and Wine, The Latin Playboys, Midlake, Doves, Sufjan Stevans, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Elliot Smith, Stina Nordenstam, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Beck and world artists Fela Kuti, Beirut, Boubacar Traore, Ali Fake Toure, Bobby McFerrin and Lisa Gerard. Love soundtracks and classical contemporary music, Steve Reich, Stephan Micus, Roger Eno, David Julyan, Gabriel Yared, Philip Glass, Gustavo Santaolalla, Avro Part...
JUNO FALLS
Weightless ****
True to their new album's title, Juno Falls (aka Myles O'Reilly and sundry travelling compañeros) float free of the tethers that keep many
of their contemporaries on terra firma. Snapshots of moments in time, stories of contradictory truths and lives less ordinary (The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off) are woven, layer upon layer, on a skein of deliciously dissonant strings and retiring percussion and brass. Juno Falls thrive on obtuse lyrics that suggest a perspective that's at an odd tilt with the world, one that throws up its share of inventive insights into life's finer moments while luring listeners into its fluctuating wavelength with an almost Tom Waitsean glee. Harmonically divine, Weightless is ideal immersion material for eardrums in pursuit of something more than a brief encounter.
Wow Myles, I just checked out your youtube channel! Turns out you are also quite the Filmmaker! Loved your "Two White Days" (what's the music you used in that one?) and the "Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh" vids!
Hey there! I heard Noel Taylor talking about your involvement with Music Box For Life on the Roddie Cleere show today. Great to hear it! This is an amazing organization and I am happy to hear of your support!
the weather is terribly cold and wet right now, but I'm tucked up on the couch with a brandy and a blanket listening to that gorgeous voice of yours. Bring on the warm fuzzies. xxXXxx
