MUSIC: Codes to support The Flaws

Codes to support The Flaws


Henry McGlade

Dublin indie-electric group Codes will play support to Oxegen favourites The Flaws at Bar Ritz in Castlebar this coming Saturday night, October 17, as part of the ‘Finbar Hoban Presents…’ series in Association with the GMIT Students’ Union.
Codes released their brand new winter-inspired album ‘Trees Dream In Algebra’ last month, and it debuted in the Irish album charts two weeks ago at number 18 – not bad for the band’s first outing. Earlier this year, Codes supported Keane in the 02 in Dublin, and they just recently made an apperance on RTÉ 2’s The Café.
Their new single ‘You are Here’ is taken from the debut album, which was recorded with acclaimed producer Greg Calbi, who has produced albums from U2, Interpol and Kings of Leon.
The band’s sound has been described as ‘Soaring vocal harmonies, dreamy arrangements and a calculated cryptography of electronic beats, piano, glockenspiel and analogue synthesisers’, while their energetic performances are gaining quite a reputation.
The gig in Bar Ritz is part of the band’s nationwide tour to in support of the release of the new album. If the Irish Daily Star’s description of Codes as “one of the biggest bands of tomorrow” is correct, music fans should make their way to Castlebar this Saturday night for what is shaping up to be a great night of music from two young Irish bands heading for greatness.
