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.

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.
ah starlight drive! god i love this! especially in winter ;) there is no other album to play when it's grey + chilly but this one! [weightless is the cosiest!!;)]
Can't wait to hear the new stuff! My iPod has been willing something new and refreshing to come along and I know you are the man for the job ;) I hope my comment finds you well Myles?
I am so happy to be back! As has been the case for a long time now, I have been extremely busy with my film project. However, as my bulletin states-the news is all good! The hard work has certainly paid off. Nothing was going to make me open that bottle of Dom Ruinart Champagne until the time was right. And that time was just recently, when I signed the contract with Red Velvet Media from the USA! I want to thank you most sincerely for your friendship and support of ourselves and this project. Looking forward to great things. Warmest regards, Liz
Hey Myles, it's been a while! Hope the music scene is still exciting in Ireland... I recorded a new song, it's on my page;"O living always, always Dying", you can check it out sometime if you want!
