California-based Dubliner Neil O'Connor launched his third LP as Somadrone, the "subtle, slow-burning" Depth of Field, with a pre-Christmas gig for Skinny Wolves at Smithfield's multipurpose Block T venue. The well-travelled producer's soothing jams and lushly textured electronica provided welcome respite from the arctic conditions outside, and there was a friendly, bustling atmosphere inside the BYOB warehouse space. Support on the night came from fellow locals Patrick Kelleher and VisionAir, the latest recording alias of Jape's Richie Egan and Niall Byrne - both sometime bandmates of O'Connor's in The Redneck Manifesto.

Mark Earley wandered along to snap some nicely-lit shots of all three acts for us. You can purchase Depth of Field now from the Skinny Wolves online store, while VisionAir are currently offering a brace of promising new EPs for free download over on their SoundCloud page.
