Kneecap - Fine Art (Heavy Rotation No. 1)
Expected Release 13th December 2024
Like the band themselves- Mo Chara, Moglaí Bap and DJ Provaí- Fine Art is fiercely intelligent, consistently hilarious and genuinely thought provoking. It’s genius is to immerse you in a world thus far unrepresented in modern music.
Across the record’s twelve tracks and the interconnecting moments between them (recorded by the band and friends including DJ Annie Mac), their imaginary Belfast pub comes to life vividly, providing the perfect backdrop for the cast of characters that join the dots throughout the album. From the moment the idea was born back in Toddla T’s studio, it was the obvious location to base the world of Kneecap in.
Kneecap’s story began in 2017 with the release of their first single - C.E.A.R.T.A. (Irish for ‘rights’). The lyrics document a near miss with the RUC on the way to party, loaded up with enough illegal substances to warrant a stretch inside. While the track was quickly banned by Irish language radio station RTE for ‘drug referencing and cursing’, C.E.A.R.T.A. saw the band help usher Irish into the modern era thanks to some much needed creativity with the terminology.
A hip hop record in the sense that the glorious sprawl of Check Your Head was, Fine Art's approach to modern music is magpie like, reflecting how an evening of music might evolve at a festival, or inside the right kind of pub. Where the band’s previous mixtape 3cag reflected life and issues in Ireland at the point of recording, Fine Art was always intended to be about the band themselves.

Expected Release 24th April 2026 Mildred is a band from Oakland, CA of four equal parts. They don’t have a lead singer, no one person writes the songs.
