Heifervescent is the never ending, ongoing, infinite, perpetual, and all those
other words that mean 'a seemingly long time', music project of Andy Doran.
Starting way back in the 90s, Andy was singer/guitarist with indie band
'Monkeyland' for about 6 years. The band spent time playing gigs alongside UK
indie favourites of the time such as Shed Seven, The House of Love, The Railway
Children and many others and received much radio airplay including Radio One.
When Monkeyland dissolved, Andy spend a few years engaged in mix media projects
and worked on video and animation productions with one of Manchester's baggy
bands - Inspiral Carpets and various other bands on the Mute label, but quickly
returned to joining another band - 'Cannula', this time just playing guitars and
producing.
In 2002, Andy began to produce tracks, alone under the name 'Heifervescent' and
the debut album Hoofed and Dangerous was a big step back to naivety and pop
sensibility, but with few twists and turns. The album received an enormous
amount of plays with the growth of internet radio stations and music sites.
2003 brought the second album, Verbal Bandit, which was more folky, acoustic and
raw. The difficult third album came in 2004 called Murder in the Garden which
had more of a hard edge than previous albums.
The most successful and most listened to album came in 2005 and was called
Pondlife Fiasco. As with all the Heifervescent albums, Pondlife Fiasco was
released under a Creative Commons license and ensured that listeners could
easily give the album a try. The album was one of the most listened to Creative
Commons albums and continues to get many plays and downloads.
The Glue Factory album was put together a few years later from tracks that just
didn't fit with any of the previous albums, and so is more of an eclectic mix.
In 2011, Andy re-recorded many of his early compositions from his days in
'Monkeyland' and released them in the shape of 'Further Adventures in
Monkeyland'
As well as the Heifervescent works, Andy actively writes and records music for
specific requirements - for film, video, motion graphics and advertising,
recording all instruments and programming himself. Often described as a one man
band, Andy often pushes the envelope a little further to become a one man
orchestra and production suite.
