Fosfin

Art Rock // Dublin, Dublin

Dublin based art rock band Fosfín (Irish and Icelandic word for phosphine) release their debut EP mutant. Fosfín was founded by Brazilian born, Dublin based Paula Moura, and in 2023 drummer and percussionist Meg Bruce (Tone Deaf, Gag Reflex and Shark School) joined the lineup for the recording of the EP. The band’s music fuses distorted guitars with harmonic and syncopated rhythms, drawing influence from Brazilian popular music. mutant was mastered by Mike Montgomery at Candyland Recording Studio. He is one half of the duo R.Ring alongside Kelley Deal (The Breeders).

Paula expands on the creation of debut EP mutant:
“The songs were written over many years, making it difficult to pinpoint a unifying theme beyond my deep desire to create music, no matter what. For the longest time, I believed I couldn’t release music because I wasn’t a good enough musician, didn’t know enough people to start a band, and couldn’t afford studio time. At some point it occurred to me that I didn’t want to have these thoughts holding me back anymore. I think that the process of recording the EP (partially at home) with my friends and self-releasing it was my way of proving those doubts wrong.”

The four track EP reflects the fusing of ideas alongside the desire to experience different soundscapes to reflect the individual subject matter of each track. Fosfín are currently rehearsing and writing new material with the aim of playing live shows in 2025. The release of the debut EP mutant is the first step, starting the year on a creative high. - Julia Mason aka The Decibel Decoder
