1000 Beasts impresses with the booming electronic pop of ‘Lord (It’s OK)’

Last year, Cian Sweeney debuted his 1000 Beasts electronic project with two songs last year ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Got This Feeling’ which established his M.O, as a producer who would be working with different singers over releases.

For his first 2018 release, ‘Lord (It’s OK)’, Sweeney has teamed up with former X-Factor contestant Janet Grogan for a single out February 23rd, which the PR says is a “broken-hearted love ballad reminiscent of Bon Iver, Francis and the Lights, and Cashmere Cat.”

I’m hearings strains of Hud Mo and more pop-leaning electronic music in it too.

Watch the video directed by Lochlainn McKenna, shot in Birmingham and starring Beth Antonia and Ray Bethley.
