Rowan

Genre: Indie Rock

Bio: Rising Cork indie rock trio, Rowan, have announced their brand-new EP ‘Everybody Talks’. Due out on July 23rd, it’s their first release via their new Los Angeles based label, Beverly Martel. The band have also shared the title track. The single is accompanied by a new music video based on a ‘groggy morning after aesthetic’ and shot at an old Georgian mansion just outside of Dublin. 

Track: ‘Everybody Talks’

Why We Like It: It’s an intense and exhilarating listening experience saturated in driving rhythms, pounding drums and a dizzying psychedelic blitz on guitar. Dylan Howe’s vocals croon the hypnotic melody while bubbling rhythmic pulses and ethereal synths create a bright atmosphere for listeners to indulge in before the song plunges into the swarming chorus. The chorus exudes a sense of paranoia and anxiety that mirrors the lyrics’ depiction of “the feeling you get when you’re having a bad day, and it seems like everybody’s out to get you.”. Showcasing refined, intoxicating musicianship, ‘Everybody Talks’ is a fantastic new tune.
