Dublin indie folk rock band, Blue Fish Diamond have released their new single ‘Sunshine In My Brain’. Produced by Gavin Glass in Orphan Recording studios, ‘Sunshine In My Brain’ uses vivid imagery to speak of the desperation that many people experience and the hope that each new day will bring some sunshine to their lives.Formed in 2016 by Jim Murphy, Blue Fish Diamond released their debut album From Dark to Light in 2018.Their music has been played on radio stations across Ireland, including on RTE Radio 1, Radio Nova, Cork’s Red FM, KCLR and Shannonside/Northern Sound. They’re also a staple of the Irish live scene having played Electric Picnic, Whelans, The Workmans and The Grand Social to name a few.

‘Sunshine In My Brain’ is a delicate and soothing number saturated in the heartfelt and beautifully expressive musicianship of Blue Fish Diamond. The song broods at the start with the use of lamenting ethereal instrumentation while elegant piano meanders between a steady beat and soft vocals. The track builds superbly. As the song progresses the melancholic atmosphere lightens with the introduction of a warm cello and glittering guitar melodies to create an uplifting atmosphere. Haunting backing vocals change to soothing coos as the song lifts into its vibrant crescendo. The attention to detail in this track is stunning. Blue Fish Diamond have knocked it out of the park again with this mesmerising track. ‘Sunshine In My Brain’ is a captivating, expressive and utterly moving piece of music.

About the song, Jim Murphy says….”We live in a time where anxiety and despair are increasingly commonplace but also a time where there is greater openness about mental health issues and where hope exists through communal support. A song for today’s world, I hope listening to Sunshine In My Brain has a cathartic effect against the challenges that we all face whether ongoing or from time to time.”
