'Mail Order Messiahs blaze an intriguing and distinctive trail with their slow, majestic and liberally embellished hybrid of electro, folk and soul. The music is marked by moments of startling beauty and the overall effect is ethereal and otherworldly, but undoubtedly compelling and arresting at the same time' Hot Press (23/10/08)
'If you're looking for something a little different (and better), the Mail Order Messiahs should be among your first ports of call.
The Galway born/Dublin based alternative/electric/indie pop duo have just released 'Par Avion', a four-track EP and, I'm happy to report, it's beatsy and blippy in all the right places but also melodic, musical and beautiful.
A first release that boasts style and substance in the shape of four brilliantly crafted blends of trippy pop and gorgeous melodies that bodes very well for the future.
That's not to say it's just 'promising' either - it's plain old 'really good'. Go get one'. RTE Music Blog (Brendan Cole)
Mail Order Messiahs are Dar Fahy and Mike Liffey, a Dublin-based alternative-electronic 2-piece. We're originally from Galway but now based in Dublin.
We officially launched our first release - 'Par Avion EP' at the end of 2008 and are releasing our debut album 'Plain' on October 17th at HWCH. The tracks were written whilst we were living in different parts of the country, sending lyrics, demos, mixes and rewrites back and forth in the mail (hence the name). Much of the recording was done in The Forge, Galway and Asylum Studios, Dublin, with Jimmy Eadie (Jape, Redneck Manifesto, Si Schroeder) taking care of production duties.
Hey Mike, sorry I missed the album launch...I was in Spain taking a much needed holiday.I trust it went well.The songs sound fantastic.Gimme a shout about the next one.I'm off to purchase your album now.All the best.
