Dublin noise-rock band Bucket have released ‘Mosaic’, a five-track psychological deep dive
Produced with James Eager, the five-track record is out now.
Dublin-based noise-rock trio Bucket have put out 'Mosaic', their follow-up to debut EP 'Muck' released earlier this year. Across five tracks, the record explores extreme psychological states through the lens of fictional narrators.
Speaking about the concept behind the release, vocalist Cian Dahdouh says: "All of the lyrics are interior monologues from fictional narrators dealing with extreme psychological states - paranoia, mania, trauma, obsession. I liked the idea of these different perspectives forming a bigger picture, like a mosaic. I found it interesting to think anyone around you could be having thoughts like this and you'd never know."
Guitarist and vocalist Dahdouh originally formed Bucket with bassist Emmet McNamee after meeting at college, bringing together garage-punk and metal/hardcore backgrounds. Drummer Korey Thomas has since joined the lineup. Since emerging in 2021, the group have released singles 'Who Knows?' and 'Budgie' in 2024, with 'Muck' arriving as their first EP at the start of this year.
