A decade after his acclaimed self-titled debut as Le Carousel, Belfast producer Phil Kieran returns with a stunning follow-up: The Humans Will Destroy Us. Carrying forward the underground cult status of the 2013 album, with huge support from the likes of Andrew Weatherall among many others, this new body of work expands the Le Carousel universe into richer, more cinematic territory. Dreamy synth lines, shoegaze-infused electronics, and lush analogue textures weave together to create an album that feels at once intimate and expansive, nostalgic yet futuristic. Kieran describes it as a natural continuation of the Le Carousel story: music built on warmth, color, and emotion, but with sharper edges that reflect the urgency of the times. It's both a soundtrack for inner reflection and the unknown. The Humans Will Destroy Us is an album that rewards both deep listening and repeated returns.

LP version. Le Carousel is the new band project from acclaimed Belfast DJ/recording artist Phil Kieran. For Le Carousel, Kieran assembled some of Ireland's finest musicians, writing most of the album while staying in Donegal on the remote west coast. Fittingly, Le Carousel evokes feelings of half-remembered childhood day-trips and windswept empty beaches. Fans of emotive electronica, blissful Balearica, artists like Spiritualized, Slowdive, Pink Floyd, Goldfrapp, Steve Reich, Rothko, Bat For Lashes, and Galaxie 500 should sign up here, although anyone with a heart is going to take something away from this extraordinary piece of work. Limited to 250 bespoke, hand-manufactured, art cover sleeves cut out of the original tour stage backdrop painting. The original image measured 18 feet x 18 feet and is now being broken up into 324 limited edition vinyl albums. Each will be numbered and contain a print of the large image with a grid reference to show where the individual piece belongs.

These tracks are drawn from Le Carousel, Phil Kieran's forthcoming album recorded with a discerning selection of talented Irish musicians. This music is a woozy look back into childhood, a blessed-out album of reflective songcraft, tinged with time-lapse psychedelia and shot through with hazy fairground ephemera. Here they are reimagined for the dancefloor, filtered through Phil's unerring techno sensibility, with more than a hint of the New York post-punk disco. Remixes by techno legend Andrew Weatherall and from the artist himself.
