The Mica scandal began in 2011 in Ireland when defective concrete blocks used in the construction of homes and other buildings showed signs of cracking and decay. The blocks were found to contain more than the maximum permitted amount of the mineral mica. The majority of affected buildings were in County Donegal but other counties were also impacted. A similar issue with the presence of pyrite was identified in 2007, originating with a quarry in the east of Ireland.
As a result of these minerals built into these houses, people's homes are literally falling apart. The Irish government have been slow to act against these property developers who cut these corners leading to thousands of families losing their homes.

This album is a combination of original songs and reimagined covers of songs and tunes from the Irish tradition. There is subtext, commentary, and method to all of the madness, which we are leaving open to the interpretation of the listener. It is up to you to decide whether or not this is all waffle, or if there is deeper meaning among all this noise. All art is open to interpretation, and we are excited to find out how this speaks to you. We are proud to bring this to you. It is the result of years of effort, frustration, and spontaneous brainfarts, and we hope that somewhere along the way it can make you crack a smile.
