Houseplants is the fully-fledged creative vision of two of Ireland’s most respected artists – Bell X1 frontman Paul Noonan, and innovative, atmospheric producer Daithí.
Following their 2021 Choice Prize-nominated album Dry Goods, and 2022 EP Seaglass, the duo return, suited and booted, with a single, ‘No Pushover’, hot off the press, and an album coming later this year, after a gig at the Róisín Dubh this Friday, April 12.
“‘No Pushover’ lyrically, is the tale of an outsider, a wannabe insider. I was taken with a story about how Elon Musk and his brother like to talk about The Simulation Argument (that we’re all in a simulation ) in the hot tub, and thought: is this the ultimate inner sanctum?” explains Noonan. “The first record was made in the strangeness of deep dark lockdown, with Daithí and I pinging parts to each other from our respective caves.”
Daithí adds: “Houseplants has always been about reaching out and connecting, there’s an honesty and rawness to the lyrics, production, and visuals. I think that's what both the band and the audience really connect to, and you see it in full force when we get to play to an audience; there's nothing like it.”
