Formed in 2012, the trio of songwriter Niall Murphy (Guitars, Vocals) Eanna MacDonnchadha (bass) and Simon McDonagh (drums/vocals) came together to form Oh Boland over the course of numerous drunken pub crawls in their hometown. The band eventually recorded a couple of EPs with Brian Kelly of So Cow, and began venturing out into Galway city, leading to involvement with Dublin-based collective Popical Island and the release of the Delphi split LP with fellow indie-poppers Me and My Dog. The Delphi recordings brought them together with producer Mark Chester(Ginnels/No Monster Club), a relationship which continued into the recording of this first full-length, Spilt Milk. The record was made over the course of two days over Halloween weekend 2014 in a cottage in Carraroe. Most of the tracks were written in the town of Tuam while Murphy worked slow day shifts in a bar populated by agrarian tragedies, gambling addicts and mislaid bachelors. Boredom-fuelled pop melodies driven by a love of girl group; country music and 70s power pop, enshrouded in the drunken slop of the Irish barroom rock n roll band and the unbridled motion of punk.
