Over the past five years Dublin-based alt-folk duo The Guggenheim Grotto has touched audiences in a way members Kevin May and Mick Lynch couldn’t have imagined. From setting out as Dublin songwriter circuit regulars, to building a devoted cult following in the U.S. with warm embraces from media and competitive iTunes charting, the band has captivated audiences and tastemakers on both sides of the pond and undergone considerable personal growth along the way.
The band’s forthcoming album, The Universe Is Laughing, might just be its most artistically mature piece of work to date. A lyrical journey through life’s beautiful mysteries, the record sees Kevin and Mick further develop themes of self-discovery and enlightenment they first visited on 2009’s Happy The Man.
"With debts to both Radiohead and The Beatles, this is modern, intelligent, lyrically potent pop." - The Boston Herald
