Jack Joyce ‘At The End of The Day’

Dublin based multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Jack Joyce has released his new single ‘At The End of The Day’.Joyce has been composing his own songs from a young age and released his debut demo EP, Get Down, in October 2018. Joyce spent the beginning of the summer of 2019 busking and backpacking around Europe, seeking new inspirations and sounds for further music releases. Following his return, he sold out The Vintage Room in the Workman’s Club. He followed this by opening for Cassia upstairs in Whelan’s and playing a slot at the New Year’s Festival in Dublin.

‘At The End of The Day’ sees Jack Joyce flexing his songwriting and musical muscles with a confidence that sets him apart from his peers. This brooding, eerie number shifts from the buoyant indie rock of previous releases and slips into a sound that exudes a dark undertone we haven’t seen before from Joyce as a songwriter. Draped in a quirky organ refrain, the tune shrouds itself in a muggy atmosphere with only the buoyant drum beat and perky guitar to lift the tone. Joyce creates a sense of longing through lush “la la la“ backing vocals and steamy guitar pines while his ruggedly deep croon wallows in shadowy glum lyrics “we’re just bones at the end of the day”. Filled with eloquent, poetic lyrics and well-paced instrumentation, Jack Joyce is creating a name for himself as a singer-songwriter to keep an eye on.
