Stay tuned for a packed festival season and debut album launch this spring/summer for Cian.Ģ2-year-old Dublin friends Lorcan and Faustas, aka Obskür, are making waves in the UK scene at the moment. 1000 Beasts has established himself as an artistic force that straddles the line between soulful, indiepop & electro music. Naruda will feature collaborations from an eclectic mix of artists such as FeliSpeaks, Célia Tiab, LENII, Arthur Valentine and Alex Tierney. His debut EP On A Different Page was released in July 2020 through Unity Group (Paris). His production work has seen him garner over 20,000,000 streams on Spotify for collaborators songs and his own artist project, and he's a platinum selling producer thanks to his work on the hit song 'Fake Fine' by Robert Grace. 1000 Beasts is the alias of Cian Sweeney, an Irish producer/artist who collaborates with different artists on every track (they are the "beasts" behind the name) to make soulful, indiepop and hip-hop inspired tracks. The chilled out afro-infused soultronic track arrives ahead of the release of 1000 Beasts' debut album Naruda on April 1st. The final verse is trying to describe one of those shiny moments of clarity you can have at random when you notice an everyday moment of beauty and you are completely pulled out of yourself.”ġ000 Beasts, 'Naruda (Fall In Your Arms Again)'

That little passing moment became the hook. In between chords I managed to hit the mic so it swung around on the stand and just caught it as he was coming up with it. "Daithí started quietly humming a gorgeous melody while jamming a middle section. “‘Piano 39’ was one of those tracks that almost wrote itself," vocalist and artwork designer Louise says. Guided by a mellow piano line and accompanied by singer Louise Gaffney’s evocatively layered vocals, ‘Piano 39’ draws attention to how much of life’s joy can be missed when you don't take a moment to look around, which is the overarching theme of their forthcoming album. Dirty Dreamer, formed out of the ashes of the Choice-nominated band Come On Live Long (Louise Gaffney, Daithí O'Connor and Ken McCabe), will release their debut album The Everyday In Bloom on April 8th.

The ambient electronic trio grapple with hard truths and shine a light on everyday beauty with their moving new single ‘Piano 39’. That's how it feels to me, and what I felt when I wrote it.”

Grian elaborates, “It's standing in the centre of our beloved home country as a multitude of things are brought to tragic ends in an apocalyptic state of affairs. Written from the perspective of an Irishman abroad, the lyrics detail the guilt of an emigrant enjoying great personal success and cultural pride, while simultaneously metabolising deep disappointment and anger at the current political climate as well as the country’s grimmest historical atrocities. frontman Grian Chatten describes as “the first overtly political song we've written.” Stitched into the apparently ardent lyrics is a lament for Ireland, in what Fontaines D.C. Ostensibly a love song, 'I Love You' is layered, impressionistic and infused with the band’s trademark intensity. 'I Love You' marks the second song to emerge from Fontaines D.C.'s forthcoming new album Skinty Fia - out April 22nd on Partisan Records.
