History

Gaggle formed as a choir by Deborah Coughlin in 2008. They released their first single I Hear Flies in 2010 on Transgressive Records. In 2011 they released a limited EP called The Brilliant and the Dark. In 2012 they released their debut album From the Mouth of the Cave in which it has had two singles so far, Army of Birds and Power of money which both received videos. The cost for Power of money is £3000, they explained the reason for this price, "The Power of Generosity, Inventiveness, Courage. The Power of Flirting, Improvising, Blagging, Hard Work and Being Nice and Polite. The Power of Friendship, Faith, Obligation, Ambition, Anxiety…..Dreams. Without these Powers this track would not have been made. This song is precious. And yet, we’re told that ‘a single’ is almost valueless. And that pisses us off. So we have done a budget of how much this single ‘cost’. The many hours it took to write, arrange, compose, master; the expertise of all the musicians, technicians, designers, producers involved; the combination of all the Powers described above and more – we’ve totted it all up as best we can and… …we are putting this tune to market for the sum of £3000. The power of money? Let’s see".
