Headgear is a musical project of the musician and producer Daragh Dukes and several collaborators. Musically, it can perhaps best be described as songs in a cinematic, leftfield, collage.
According to The Irish Times “Headgear is in a different headspace, a strange phantasmagorical place where musical genres collide in a fugue of beats, samples, looped melodies, and surreal imagery”.
Where This Good Life Goes, a 6 track mini-album, was released in October 2002 on Diamond Head Recordings.
The eponymous album, Headgear, featuring the singles Singin' in The Drain and Halibut, was released in 2004, on the Marthadigsmusic label, to critical acclaim.
Irish music magazine Hot Press called it "a beguiling marriage of bedsit melancholia with laboratory electronica and quite the chamber-pop pocket symphony”.
A more band-centred album Flight Cases was released in early 2007, including Harry Truman and Mister Petit both of which featured on prominent best of 2007 Irish song lists.
Around this time Dukes formed the Wasted Youth Orchestra (The Wyos) with Rory Carlile. In 2010 he began working as a freelance composer for film /TV and radio from his County Limerick studio.
Dukes also works under the pseudonym 'Asylum Speakers'. Headgear went on hiatus in 2008 and re-emerged in 2021 with Omphalos Pt.1.
