Modundayız Sunar: Cardinals
The rising star of the Irish independent rock scene, Cardinals, is coming to our country for the first time, performing at the Blind venue, with exclusive support from %100 Music.
Based in the north of Cork city, the band Cardinals stands out with its intense emotional world, oscillating between darkness and light, hope and despair. Led by brothers Euan and Finn Manning, the five-piece group, which includes their cousin Darragh and school friends Oskar Gudinovic and Aaron Hurley, quickly established a strong presence in the Irish alternative music scene.
The group's first album, "Masquerade," released in 2025, stands out as the strongest indication of this rise. The album, which begins with gentle melodies and gradually becomes more intense, offers a listening experience that takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions. The A-side features a more vulnerable and introspective narrative, while the B-side stands out with its dark, intense, and powerful atmosphere. With this approach, Cardinals pays homage to classic record culture while also offering the listener a multi-layered story.
During the recording process, the group, working at the legendary RAK Studios in London, aimed to capture an "organic and intimate" sound, collaborating with producer Shrink. The album, recorded without the use of a click track, has a distinctly live feel. In particular, the vocals recorded on the studio staircase for the track "As I Breathe" stand out as one of the album's most vulnerable and impactful moments.
The Blind concert on November 26th will mark the band Cardinals' first performance in Turkey. Eager to bring the powerful momentum they've gained with their album "Masquerade" to the stage, the group promises an intense, intimate, and unforgettable concert experience for the audience in Istanbul.
