Biography

Led by composer and artist Jamie McDermott, The Irrepressibles are a 10-piece ‘performance orchestra’ that, through the power of their instruments, can transport and transfix, break moulds and collide worlds.

Fusing European orchestration with pop melodies and soaring cathartic vocals, debut album ‘Mirror Mirror’ is a theatrical, playful, and emotionally passionate album. From the dramatic opener ‘My Friend Jo’ to the galloping rhythms of ‘Anvil’; from the yearning echoes of ‘Forget The Past’ through to the intensely intimate ‘In This Shirt’, ‘Mirror Mirror’ is a beautifully constructed sonic exploration depicting Jamie McDermott’s confessional stories of love, anger, lust and loss with a journey through The Irrepressibles’ mystical and theatrical world.

Whilst The Irrepressibles’ sound has been compared to early David Bowie, Kate Bush, Anthony & The Johnsons and even Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band, ‘Mirror Mirror’ is quite unlike anything heard before. McDermott’s androgynous vocal range soars above intricate polyphonic arrangements, accompanying the glamour of a sonic world of Exotica-meets-Baroque-meets-Scott Walker-style orchestral pop arrangements. As the album unfolds there is so much to discover, enchanting musical offerings that hold surprises at every turn.
