So Cow are an Irish indie rock band, currently signed with Goner Records.[1] Started as a solo act in 2005 in Seoul, South Korea by Brian Kelly,[2] the group has since evolved into a three piece band with Jonny White on Bass and Peter O'Shea on Drums.[3][4] They have released five albums; These Truly Are End Times (2007), I'm Siding With my Captors (2008), So Cow (2009)[5] & Meaningless Friendly (2010), as well as numerous singles and a Split album.[6] Their fifth album The Long Con was released by Goner records in 2014.[1] They have appeared at Primavera Sound,[7] SXSW[8] HWCH [9] & Castlepalooza.[10] Their sound has been described by Pitchfork as "Like Television Personalities or The Clean at their most engaging, Kelly plays rickety guitar-pop that sounds homemade without feeling insular."[11] The group received media attention in 2009 in South Korea after naming a song after the popular South Korean actress and model Moon Geun-young.[12]
