“Mister Imperator”
new from Jacknife Lee and Cathal Coughlan
Dimple Discs
Digital Single – OUT NOW
Telefís, (the Irish Gaelic word for Television, pronounced Tele-feesh) is a new collaboration between two acclaimed Irish iconoclasts, composer/mixer/producer Garret “Jacknife” Lee (U2, REM, Two Door Cinema Club and many others) and singer/lyricist/composer Cathal Coughlan (Microdisney, Fatima Mansions and many acclaimed solo works).
With Jacknife now based in Los Angeles and Cathal based in London, the two spent 2020 trading ideas and musical files during lockdown, hatching plans for a satirical, mischievous examination of Irish history and pop culture in their lifetimes, what the two have labelled ..”a corrosive nostalgia”.
The result is an album containing twelve songs entitled “a hAon” (One), which will be released by Dimple Discs in January 2022. “Mister Imperator” is the second transmission from said album, a deliciously retro-electro affair loosely recounting the tale of a beloved pianist who was a light entertainment staple of early TV fare dating back to the first broadcasts in The Irish Republic in 1961.
