The long-awaited debut album You from Dublin five-piece Meltybrains? was released on January 25 via Strange Brew records. Brian Dillon talks about what took them so long, their various acquaintances and sideprojects along the way - Micheál Quinn drums for Dermot Kennedy for example, Sim Simma is always one of the best parts of festival season, while Brian and Ben Bix also helped make the music, with Eoin 'Talos' French, for Emmet Kirwan's latest show Accents.

It has been years in the making - an exploration of the journey of five young men, trying to get from one end of their 20s to the other. Much like the making of the album, this journey was trickier than any of them thought it would be. It’s an absolute beginner’s guide to the microcosm, the macrocosm and everything in between. It’s also a bit of fun and a pretty good record, combining influences from footwork, drone and j-pop with krautrock, psychedelia and prog.
