“The songs range from golden shimmery atmospherics to punchy power tunes, born from darkness and loss, and elevated to a celebration”
~ Miki Berenyi (Lush, MB3)
Biography
Anglo-Irish dreamrock trio KEELEY, fronted by charismatic Dubliner Keeley Moss, are pleased to announce the release of their third full-length album 'Girl On The Edge Of The World'. The album lands on February 20 via the Definitive Gaze label, and is the first to feature Keeley’s touring bandmates - bassist Lukey Foxtrot and drummer Andrew Paresi, who played on Morrissey’s first three solo albums. It’s also the first album to feature guest vocalists - Miki Berenyi (Lush, Piroshka, MB3) on “Big Brown Eyes” and Sice of The Boo Radleys on “Trains and Daydreams”. The album was produced by longtime KEELEY studio collaborator Alan Maguire at his Dublin studio, and features twelve new songs including the current single “Hungry For The Prize”.
'Girl on the Edge of the World' takes the shape of "a film for the ear" from a unique perspective, that of teenage German backpacker Inga Maria Hauser, whose murder in Northern Ireland in April 1988 on her first solo adventure away from her parents remains unsolved. Her case is a cause Moss has kept alive over the past decade in her long-running blog The Keeley Chronicles, on BBC TV's Spotlight programme and in an episode of the BBC/Netflix documentary Murder in the Badlands. Regarded as an authority on the case, Inga’s short life and tragic demise has become the subject of KEELEY’s entire discography to date. The album celebrates Inga's mission to see the world and takes the listener on a vivid journey through the mists of time, creating sound pictures with words, music and in places, excerpts from Inga's own diary and postcards, to create a deeply poignant and yet utterly vibrant musical memoir. A bubbling cauldron of Indie-Rock, Shoegaze, Dreampop, Post-Punk, Ambient Electronica and pastoral Psychedelia, 'Girl on the Edge of the World' is the most immersive and most alluring realisation yet of Moss's singular songwriting vision. "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", she says.
A new documentary about Keeley Moss and her involvement in the Inga Maria Hauser case is currently in production from the makers of the acclaimed film 'From Scotland With Love' (2014).
The live band went from strength to strength in 2024-25 playing blistering support sets to Babyshambles, Echobelly, The Boo Radleys, Inspiral Carpets, Northside, The Primitives, Terrorvision, Miki Berenyi Trio and The Smyths, and also enjoyed their first-ever festival date with a triumphant appearance at the Shiiine On Weekender. Catch them on their UK headline tour in February and March!
