Anglo-Irish dreamrock trio KEELEY, fronted by Dublin-born singer-guitarist-composer Keeley Moss, return with a new single ‘Who Wants To See The World’ on November 19. It’s the opening salvo from their forthcoming third album Girl On The Edge Of The World (20 February ), the latest production from Dublin-based sonic maestro Alan Maguire. The song is a euphoric blast of classic dreampop style and sensibility, and is accompanied by a video commissioned by KEELEY’s new label Definitive Gaze. Directed by Glasgow-based photographer & film-maker Laura Meek, the clip attempts in part to retrace the steps of Keeley’s muse Inga Maria Hauser, who took an ill-fated trip from Stranraer in Scotland to Larne in Northern Ireland in April 1988. Filmed using vintage VHS film techniques, the video is an homage to a beautiful young soul, whose life was violently snatched away from her, and whose murder remains unsolved. Keeley has become something of an authority on the case, and a new documentary about her involvement is currently in development.
This is the first recording in her now-extensive catalogue to feature contributions from her touring bandmates – bassist Lukey Foxtrot and former Morrissey drummer Andrew Paresi. “This record is the first time we’ve managed to capture what I call ‘the sonic swirl’ in our sound, the sound I’ve had in my head all along”, says Moss. KEELEY have just finished a run of dates supporting ’80s alt-pop legends The Primitives, and will open for Babyshambles at Bristol 02 Arena on December 9th. They then head out on their own UK headline tour in February.
