Le Galaxie have their feet on the ground

MICHAEL POPE is dying to share a secret. “We have a guest vocalist on our new album but I can’t tell you who it is,” says Le Galaxie’s singer, his voice falling to a whisper.

“However, it was a fantastic person to get. Everyone in the group is thrilled at how it has worked out. We are all very excited.”

These are heady days for the Dublin electro outfit. Their second full length record is nearly complete (mastered by Eric Broucek, in-house producer with New York electro act LCD Soundsystem). A marquee guest is lined up for the project (despite prodding, Pope won’t say who). Later this month, Le Galaxie play Dublin’s Olympia Theatre. There is a fair chance of a sell-out. Pope is pinching himself. After years of hard work, things are coming together for the quartet.
