Little Green Cars spill the beans on new album

Little Green Cars have revealed that working with Grammy-winning producer Markus Dravs on their debut album was an amazing experience.

Having already produced the likes of Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons and Coldplay, Dravs was was long on the young band's wish-list.

"Markus was just so on the same page" guitarist and singer Faye O' Rourke tells Hot Press. "It was actually unbelievable. I can't express how suited to each other we were. You'd expect it to be like a parent-child relationship, because he's got all the experience and you're all, 'Hail ye!'. He wasn't like that. He said, 'I don't go in for that'".

The much-anticipated Absolute Zero was recorded in just a month. The quintet will showcase the collection at Vicar St. this Saturday, May 11. They recently played to a sold-out Button Factory - check out Maeve Heslin's review of the show, here.
