It's no secret that we're big fans of Le Galaxie here at entertainment.ie - the most excellent Laserdisc Nights II fought off some very tough competition to earn its rightful place in the top 5 of our 'Albums of 2011' list, making it the highest-placing Irish offering. The epitome of a slow-burning success story from their early EPs onwards to their live evolution, Le Galaxie's much-heralded debut proved a big success for the band, and in turn afforded their on-stage antics the opportunity to scale dizzying new heights with high-profile support slots and some legendary festival gigs. They ignited a fire at Electric Picnic last summer and let it roar at full blaze at Forbidden Fruit this summer, more than holding their own against a bill of carefully curated international heavyweights over that June bank holiday weekend, thanks in part to some attention-seeking new tracks which upped their momentum significantly. And now, they're ours for keeps in the form of the Fade 2 Forever EP.
