Organic Sampler

Kilkenny drummer gets spasmodic on us

Edwin McFee, 22 Oct 2008

R.S.A.G. (Rarely Seen Above Ground) is the musical alter ego of Kilkenny native Jeremy Hickey. The former Blue Ghost sticksman’s most recent guise sees the multi-instrumentalist take a turn down Talking Heads alley, with spasmodic, slinky sounds aplenty. Organic Sampler is an extremely textured record bursting with drum fills galore and mad-as-a-bag-of-hammers vocals. It all works really well though (particularly on ‘Counting Down’ and ‘Bad Seed’) and will probably ensure that Jeremy won’t be underground for much longer.
