DAVID GERAGHTY | KOMOREBI

Komorebi (木漏れ日) is a poetic Japanese word that describes sunlight filtering through the canopy of trees. This is an album of hope that reflects on topics such as estrangement, a humanity drunk at the wheel with the distraction of technology, the tragic life of the world's first supermodel, and a ballad of a stuntwoman, St. Valentine using Tinder. 

Komorebi plays with a range of different perspectives in what feels like a rapidly changing world. Whether that is with a wry, "if you don't laugh, you'll cry" twist, a melodramatic analogy to a Greek tragedy or a facetious plea to settle for a life of pretence. I recorded the album in my home studio 'The Numbers Station' with some guest appearances by friends and family. 

While the writing and recording of the album was used to iron out some of life's wrinkles, it also ended up being an exciting technical process. With the assistance of the brilliantly talented engineer Luke Conlon, this album was mixed in a way that further equipped and informed me for future recording projects. Which was an amazingly liberating experience.

Having had a busy summer of live shows from festivals to headline appearances, and singles from Komorebi that have graced the nations airwaves including RTE 2FM TOTW with Jenny Greene. David Geraghty eagerly awaits the release of this body of work and looks forward to sharing it with you.

BIOGRAPHY

Composer and multi-instrumentalist David Geraghty is a founding member of Bell X1 and he continues to be a driving force behind the band. Releases have included ten albums (four No.1s), extensive world tours, as well as opening for acts such as U2 and Ed Sheeran. Geraghty’s output also includes composing for TV & Film (which includes the short "The Crush" which was short-listed for an Oscar).

Alongside this, Geraghty releases solo works. His debut, "Kill Your Darlings" (2007), was received with critical acclaim and was followed up in 2009 with the equally evocative "The Victory Dance". 2014 marked the first of two releases for Geraghty under the moniker "Join Me In The Pines" with an album of brooding dark folk called "Inherit"

The release of "Monomania" in 2019 saw a startling shift to a groove-based electro sound that has flashes of Prince, Gary Numan, Bowie, Nile Rodgers with reviewers commenting:

"Geraghty has proven himself a master of melody in the past, but this album confirms that he’s a crackerjack when it comes to groove and soul, too. Dismiss this as a side-project at your peril".

Lauren Murphy – The Irish Times

“Throughout Monomania, there are flawless falsettos, shimmering synths and rhythms so infectious they could carry their own health warning....It’s seriously impressive.”

John Walshe – Hot Press

Geraghty/JMITP has opened for acts such as David Gray and Hall & Oates at Live At The Marquee Cork and Iveagh Gardens Dublin.

Since his last release, Geraghty completed an undergraduate course where he majored in composition and the study of classical piano. This saw him compose for a range of styles, which included Wind Ensemble, String Quartet and Electronica. These new musical ventures have allowed Geraghty to build on over 30 years of writing songs and creating cinematic soundscapes for screen.

For the making of the new album ‘KOMOREBI’, Geraghty also added the enriching process of mixing to his writer/producer credentials. The album is an exciting development in this fresh and creative trajectory and is set for release in late summer 2026.

SPECIAL RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE OF A PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED LIVE ALBUM, RECORDED AT WINTERLAND, CALIFORNIA IN 1978.

Horslips were a pioneering force in blending Irish traditional music with progressive rock, helping to define what became known as Celtic rock. Throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively across Europe and North America, building a reputation for ambitious live performances.

“A brilliant souvenir of a rare moment from our many wild adventures across America” – Jim Lockhart

Recorded at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco in 1978 during the band’s US tour supporting their 1977 album Aliens, this concert is made available on LP for the first time. The recording documents Horslips’ late-1970s live sound and lineup and is pressed on 180g crystal clear vinyl.

"Saturday night in San Francisco, 15 April 1978. Third on the bill, a 40-minute slot to make a mark and Horslips did so with virtuosity, velocity and ferocity – and a cheery twinkle in the emerald eye, as always. Winterland was a magical moment in the Horslips journey, midway between the loose, homespun prog quirkiness of their 1976 double live LP and the taut, professional, yet exhausted end-of-days souvenir The Belfast Gigs (1980), when they were doing battle on tour with bill-sharing boogie bores, new wave nonentities and the seen-it-all audiences of America. Horslips Live At Winterland is something new: it’s a cauldron of pure molten rock. Listening is believing." - Colin Harper

Produced by Horslips.

Recorded at Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA, USA on 15 April 1978 by KALX Radio.

Preserved and digitised by Doug Kroll.

Remixed and remastered by Joachim "Eroc" Heinz Ehrig.

Curated by Colin Harper.

RTÉ Choice Music Prize Classic Irish Album

*2026 pressing Solid Red Vinyl released Friday 6th March | Pre-Order now

Gatefold solid red 180g vinyl, original printed inner sleeve and records labels

Consistently hailed as one of the greatest Irish albums of all time, The Táin's influence on the subsequent 5 decades of music coming from Ireland is immeasurable. Featuring Horslips' most successful and now legendary track Dearg Doom, this album has informed the careers of everyone from Thin Lizzy to U2 to poet Seamus Heaney.

This special red vinyl release, pressed in Ireland by Anthem Vinyl, is only the second authorised vinyl pressing of the epic masterpiece since the band's own Oats Records copies were issued in the 1970's. Pressed in Ireland by Anthem Vinyl.

Bruce Eder from AllMusic says "The most ambitious and successful of their early albums, Horslips' most progressive creation, and maybe the most successful rock concept album ever done, The Táin is rock put into the service of epic storytelling (or is it the other way around?)."

PRESS RELEASE

🏆 RTÉ Choice Music Prize Classic Irish Album 🏆

And the winning album is…

The Táin by Horslips

The RTÉ Choice Music Prize Classic Irish Album, in association with IMRO & IRMA, has just been announced on RTÉ Gold by Will Leahy. The winning album is: The Táin by Horslips. A concept album centred on Irish mythology, The Táin was the band’s second full-length offering and was released on their own label in Ireland in 1973 as well as RCA in the UK and Atco in the US.

“We can’t believe it, really. We knew at the time that The Táin was a different kind of album. And we could see that Dearg Doom had a great riff going on. We just didn’t think that it would sustain in the way it has. Both Italia 90 and ‘Saipan’ have served to keep the album and the single surfacing but even without that, there seems to be an inbuilt determination to survive in both. 50 years is a good innings!” – Horslips, 2026

The panel chose The Táin by Horslips as their Classic Irish Album for the RTÉ Choice Music Prize and explain further – “Horslips lasted 10 years – 1970 to 1980. Their impact was immense. They literally changed the course of music in Ireland in the seventies, not just because they fused traditional Irish music with rock and in so doing inspired many local and international acts or that they released 10 albums in that 10-year period leaving a legacy much bigger than that of the defining band of the so-called Celtic Rock genre.

The judges for this year’s prize are Dave Fanning (Radio and TV Broadcaster), Caroline Henry (Artist Management), Stevo Berube (Artist Management & Music Publicist), with Paul Russell (Radio producer, formerly RTÉ 2FM) as the chairperson.

The album was played in full on RTÉ Gold.

“Dearg Doom” was arguably the most popular track on the album and was included in Tom Dunne’s 30 Best Irish Hits compilation, released in 2003.

Horslips: Jim Lockhart, Eamon Carr, Barry Devlin, Charles O’ Connor, Johnny Fean

A few of the band members will attend on March 5th to collect their award.
