O Emperor - Holy fool

A thrilling return from the Cork-based (although Waterford-born) band, the first song from their upcoming second album, Vitreous, due in June. A motorik rhythm section sets the pace, stylish prog guitars and keys attach themselves and banks of soaring, unexpected vocal harmonies cap it all. Coming in at just 2 and a half minutes, it’s the most bite-sized progressive pop package you’ll find and a cracking tune.
