David Kitt recasts ‘There Will Always Be This Love’ in solo song from Yous LP

While David Kitt’s New Jackson album has been nominated for a Choice Music Prize, the songwriter has plans to release his long-awaited solo album Yous next week March 9th on All City Records (after it was originally released to fans for one week only in Jan 2017), following on from the 10″ release of an EP.

‘There Will Always Be This Love’ is a song that New Jackson fans may know as it featured on a Permanent Vacation LP compilation in a more electronic vein. It features on Yous, as a more meditative traditional song with Margie Lewis again involved.

“‘There Will Always Be This Love’ started out as a New Jackson song, but I thought it was one of those proper choruses that you don’t write every day and I always had it mind for inclusion on Yous. I tried it in Cleere’s in Kilkenny at the Blues and Roots festival a couple of years ago, with Margie Lewis on violin and vocals, and it was one of those special gig moments that convinced me to record it. We’ve already been asked to sing it at one wedding.”

Yous is available to pre-order on Bandcamp: https://davidkitt.bandcamp.com/

The 20 best songs of the last month

My favourite songs of the past month – all in one place.

Listen on Spotify

1.

Fort Romeau – ‘Emu’

An absolute electronic monster from Fort Romeau on Running Back. ‘Emu’ is the 6-minute lead off track from the release and it moves from propulsive mechanical synth dance to siren-building constructions. It sounds great in a club as I confirmed at Lumo this weekend.

2.

The National – ‘Day I Die’

‘Day I Die’ is a highlight among many on Sleep Well Beast, which may well be The National’s most interesting and rewarding album yet. It’s a song that echoes the rest of the album’s themes – the difficulties of being in a long-term relationship (somewhat complicated by the fact that Matt Berninger’s wife co-wrote the words).

3.

Mount Kimbie – ‘Delta’

Mount Kimbie’s new album Love What Survives finds them moving away from post-dubstep towards kraut and electronic textures. I love this instrumental that falls somewhere between the middle with cheap car horn sounds, noise rock and intertwining synth lines.

4.

Dermot Kennedy – ‘Moments Passed’

Every time I listen to this, It confirms my gut feeling that Dermot Kennedy is going to be absolutely huge.

5.

LCD Soundsystem – ‘Other Voices’

My current favourite from James Murphy’s American Dream. Their 3-night residency in Dublin’s Olympia confirms the vitality of a reformed band that ironically make their reputation from being jaded. Murphy is the ultimate micromanager, changing bass amp settings, loosening the cymbal and memorably, scrubbing out a song with a black marker on every member of the band’s setlist.

6.

Bad Bones – ‘You’

Maximalist Irish electronica with dark shades from a Hard Working Class Heroes highlight for many.

7.

IDER – ‘Learn To let Go’

London duo recently signed to Glassnote making sweet comforting Maggie Rogers-esque pop.

8.

Fontaines – ‘Hurricane Laughter’

Just great rock’n’roll with a Dublin accent.

9.

Lilla Vargen – ‘Hold On’

The Northern Irish artist has since been developing her music with the support of Cork label Feel Good Lost. The just-released Hold On is the first public sign of that development, an emotionally resonant song written produced by Nick Raynor with a delicate chorus line.

10.

Somadrone – ‘The Howling Infinite’ ft. Margie Lewis

Neil O’Connor AKA Somadrone returns to with his sixth album Wellpark Avenue in November after his collaborative work on the soundtrack for the Irish horror film Without Name with Gavin O’Brien and Music For 18 Machines and last album Oracle.

For the first single from the album, O’Connor is joined by Margie Lewis on ‘The Howling Infinite’. The song has a live band Boards Of Canada feel before diverting into Lewis’ string-assisted psychedelic and synthesizer passages. ‘The Howling Infinite’ is a cozy dreamspace to occupy.

Buy the song on iTunes.

The song also features on my regular-updated new Irish music playlist:

Listen to Record Store Gay 2013 – a compilation of gay covers from Irish bands

rsd

Our LGBT brothers and sisters are the focus of lots of attention at the moment, between retrograde homophobic attacks and the constitutional amendment to extend rights to same-sex couples. With important steps towards progress, there are still steps backwards. Being a young person is hard enough, being one who is seen as different from the majority is even harder. Which is why places like Outhouse are really important. The Capel Street centre in Dublin city offers support to the LGBT community. Last year 25,000 people visited the centre for advice.

First Listen: Bantum – Legion (album stream)

If you’ve been following Ruairi Lynch’s productions as Bantum in the last few years you will perhaps have noticed a natural progression. While his early EP sounded like the work of a musician finding his feet and his sound, with every passing remix or EP, that sound has got more distinctive, and there’s no better time than on a debut album for that to really ring true right?; As this 11-track collection of all-new impressively self-produced songs shows.

Bantum feat. Margie Lewis – ‘Legion’

Photo credit: Deadl.ie

After releasing four EPs over the last few years on Bandcamp and a few fine remixes, Ruairi Lynch aka Bantum is almost ready to release his debut album Legion on October 12th through Eleven Eleven.

The album will feature guest vocals from R.S.A.G., Logikparty’s Benni Johnston, Owensie and Eimear O’Donovan (ex-KVX). Here’s the title track featuring the ethereal tones of frequent collaborator Margie Lewis. Bantum is peaking at the right time. A launch night takes place in the 12th in the Workman’s with support from REID and Ghosts and if you’re in Cork this Saturday, he’s supporting Le Galaxie.
