Band Name: Vlog

A little vlog on our process:

Tracklist

The track list has been conquered! All of the Gaelic words we were considering for our actual band name have come in very handy, as we've managed to reuse some of them for the tracks. Here they are:

• We Fall (the song we're using)
• Telling the Tale
• Cara
• Where We Come Home
• Set in Stone
• A Few Sweet Nothings
• Victory 
• Core
• Unseen
• Our Island

+ Bonus track list

• 1634
• At Our Best
• Whiskey

All of the tracks have a little Irish meaning which we think is really cute, and makes the entire project all tie together.

Album Artwork

Now that we've decided on names for our band and album and have put together a track list, I've decided to look at album artworks that I'll be pulling inspiration from. So far, I really like these select few, even though I won't be able to pull ideas from all of them.

The xx - Coexist

Bon Iver - Bon Iver

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

Rae Morris - Unguarded

Phoria - Display

Band Name and Album Title!!!

We've got it!! (We think)

Ceol (pronounced Ky-ol) is a Gaelic word meaning 'the rhythm within us'. So naturally we've decided to steal both the word and the meaning for our band name and album title. We decided on Gaelic due to Kodaline being an Irish band and because its an obscure enough language to not be cliche, yet still very effective.

Band Name Brainstorm

In order to brainstorm some band name ideas, we've taken some inspiration from our favourite bands. Looking into the indie genre, the names that we already like are:

• MØ 
• The 1975
• The Neighbourhood
• Amber Run
• Bon Iver (French translation of 'Good Winter')

We're currently really liking the idea of having a band name in a foreign language that translates into something pretty in English, or a foreign word with a lot of meaning. 

We've looked a few words in more obscure languages, such as Norwegian, Swedish and Gaelic.

• Kodein (Swedish for 'Codine')
• Bra Vinter (Swedish for 'Good Winter')
• Fjord (Norwegian nature word)

MØ - Walk This Way

I recently watched the music video Walk This Way by artist MØ and instantly thought of our music video. Even though my group aren't aiming to create a lip syncing/performance video, this video still links to our own through the active sports elements that runs through it. I really like how upbeat both the song a the video is, much like our own.

Permission Email

Due to copyright issues each group has been asked to compose an email addressed to the producers of our song choice, asking permission to use their music. Mr. Jacknife Lee was quite hard to track down, but we managed to find his email and ask his consent.
