About Me


Heliopause are four beans from Cork and Kerry. Been messing around with instrumental rock and funk for 2 years playing with some great bands, djs and producers from the alternative undercurrent seeping into ireland. In April 2008, they released their self-titled debut EP. The album features some perfectly intricate post rock and math rock sounds with just the most subtle hints of jazzy rock thrown in ala tortoise or even karate. It is available in Plugd Records, Cork and Road Records Dublin. You can also get it from Road Records' website at:
