Track: This Town
Why We Like It: It’s a delicate, passionate song dipped in the emotive songwriting of Lewis Ross. With a sweet and melancholic melody saturated in lyrics of loneliness and isolation, the track is a bittersweet tear-jerker. Ross’s warm vocals soothe and lament through a spacious backdrop of tender acoustic guitar and icy keys allowing his beautiful tone to convey the striking and painful lyrics. With just the warmth on guitar creating a subtle element of comfort, ‘This Town’ is a mature, well crafted, and utterly stirring new single.

Badhands
Genre : Alternative
Bio : Dublin songwriter and musician Dan Fitzpatrick, aka Badhands has composed and recorded a powerful and evocative collection of songs inspired by the World’s Oceans. Funded by the Arts Council’s Covid-19 Response Grant the project captures Fitzpatrick’s lifelong fascination with the sea, blending the styles of his award-winning soundtrack work and the alt-folk sound of his work as Badhands, with a mix of musical influences including Ennio Morricone, Scott Waker, PJ Harvey, and Radiohead. Each song on this EP represents one of the 5 Oceans, reflecting a personal interpretation of some of their distinct characteristics; but also linking together with overlapping musical themes to form a broader, singular piece
Track: Indian Ocean
Why We Like It: It’s a dark, luring track shrouded in dazing psychedelic synths, mystery, and cinematic melodies. The deep enticing vocals create an eerie atmosphere for the verses while a strident galloping guitar and steady rhythm anchor the track’s wispy haunting tendencies. The song unfolds becoming more psychedelic as it reaches its crescendo allowing the falsetto by Dan Fitzpatrick provide a contrasting sweetness and sense of innocence. There are many twists and turns within the track as it ventures from dark ominous soundscapes to gritty desert- esque refrains and back to eerie psychedelia again before landing on an elegant piano and string outro. ‘Indian Ocean’ is one heck of a thrill ride.
