R.S.A.G.

R.S.A.G. (Rarely Seen Above Ground) is the solo project of Irish musician Jeremy Hickey, a drummer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Kilkenny. Known for his hypnotic blend of electronic beats, indie rock energy, and looping experimentation, Hickey crafts dynamic soundscapes that feel both gritty and groove-driven. Since his 2008 debut *Organic Sampler*—shortlisted for Ireland’s Choice Music Prize—he’s carved a niche as a DIY auteur, often playing every instrument and handling production himself. Tracks like *The Spark* and *Chroma* showcase his knack for layering percussive rhythms with moody melodies, while remixes like *You Want More* (reworked by Sunken Foal) highlight his collaborative edge.

Beyond music, Hickey’s artistry spills into visuals, with self-created graphics and album art adding to R.S.A.G.’s distinctive vibe. Recent releases like the *Rotate EP* and the introspective *Be It Right Or Wrong* prove he’s still pushing boundaries, merging raw live drums with electronic textures. Whether he’s dropping dancefloor-ready cuts or brooding anthems, R.S.A.G. remains a shapeshifting force in Ireland’s alt-music scene.
