Codes - This Is Goodbye - Navan - The Band Wagon Tv - 9th April 2009

Codes are an alternative/electronic quartet from Dublin, Ireland. Expansive yet melodic. Powerful yet delicate, their music colours the void between the ambience and longevity of soundtrack music and the energy and immediacy of live music. Codes are, Daragh Anderson (Vocals, Guitars, Samples) Eoin Stephens (Bass, Vocals, Synth) Paul Reilly (Drums, Vocals, Samples) Raymond Hogge (Guitars, Vocals, Piano, Synth) Never ones to be content with trend-following, the group have taken the recognisable 4-piece band formula and moved it into something entirely their own. Soaring vocal harmonies, dreamy arrangements and a calculated cryptography of electronic beats, piano, glockenspiel and analogue synthesizers permeate their sound. Codes winter inspired debut album Trees Dream In Algebra which was recorded in Gloucestershire UK & mixed in Auckland, New Zealand with acclaimed producer Greg Haver (Manics, SFA) and mastered in NYC by Greg Calbi (U2,Interpol,Kings of Leon) is out now. It is difficult to describe CODES in terms of other Irish bands because there is nobody like them. The more I see of the band, the more Im convinced that they are a band destined for greatness. Its the kind of music that summer festivals and stadium venues were designed for; grandiose sonic landscapes painted in painstakingly minute detail. - Cluas.com Soaring alternative anthems - InDublin Magazine With a sound thats punctuated with inescapable keyboard hooks and sweeping choruses that are just aching to be let loose in a cavernous arena space. Codes are most definitely ones worth looking out for. - Virgin music.com This Is Goodbye has singled Codes out to be one of the biggest bands of tomorrow - The Irish Daily Star
