Currently, it is fair to describe Irish Basement as minimalist, but only with respect to its internet footprint. The content on the website and Facebook page of the project isn’t helpful in researching the identity of Irish Basement. However, Spotify tells us “Irish Basement is the solo project of Washington, DC-based writer and producer Mike Toohey.”
The debut single of Irish Basement is “Union Station.” The entire song is praiseworthy, but it shines particularly bright during the guitar-driven bridge that begins at 1:49. In its description of the single, Irish Basement says:
"Union Station" explores the concepts of love, loss, and nostalgia over a sparkling soundscape of C86-esque chorus-soaked guitar riffs, Juno synth pads, and a driving LinnDrum beat.
We had to look up the term “C86.” The detailed Wikipedia explanation is available at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C86. Briefly, C86 is used to identify a guitar-based musical genre characterized by jangling guitars and melodic power pop song structures.
