Constant Supply-Daft Quotes
September 26, 2011
LETTERKENNY-based duo Constant Supply comprised of James Gillen and Conal Sweeney return with their “darkly compelling” brand of alt-rock in the shape of delectable new single ‘Daft Quotes’ on October 7th.
James and Conal have been playing music together on and off since they were 13. After around three years of playing acoustic sets (because they couldn’t find a decent drummer) James decided to purchase a drum machine before Xmas 2009. They haven’t looked back since. Their songs are now fully formed for people’s ears.

The follow-up to their 2010 critically acclaimed debut ‘Alleviate EP’ sees the Donegal pair once again teaming up with Tommy McLaughlin (Villagers/ Cathy Davey) at his Attica Studios. ‘Daft Quotes’ is a very impressive first taste of what’s in store from Constant Supply’s eagerly-awaited debut album, due for release early next year. By marrying skittery rhythms, fuzzy riffs and an unsettling bassline with a perversely upbeat melody this track is a darkly delicious affair.
“It started off as quite a dark tune and chances are it would’ve stayed dark the whole way through if it wasn’t for the Gorillaz album ‘Plastic Beach’. I was listening to it a lot at the time and it inspired me to write a chorus that was a bit more poppy, and dare I say, happy, musically anyway. The dynamic of a heavy, dark verse and then an uplifting poppier chorus works well I think. Hopefully the chorus will surprise people a bit,” says Constant Supply’s James Gillen.
