Bricknasty share personal new single ‘Mouthy’ and tour dates

Dublin collective Bricknasty are following up their 2023 EP Ina Crueler with a mixtape called eh, XONGZ አስቀያሚ ጡብ.

The 9-track EP is out October 2nd on FAMM and the press release says captures “the band’s journey through loss, recovery, and the embrace of the unknown.

“The majority of these formative experiences occurred on tour shortly after the release of their first project.”

 ‘mouthy’ is the first track from the EP, with Bricknasty’s trademark textured ambient live punk band jazz and electronic music combining with rapped verses and melodic hooks, with snippets of personal recordings that illuminate the difficulties of life, with Fatboy discovering that his mother needed life-saving surgery and close friend and photographer Ross McDonnell (who did the INA CRUELER cover), died in New York.

The recordings included in the song are taken from The Bricknasty Sessions, the band’s live series at the The Sugar Club featuring Kojaque, Maverick Sabre, Shiv, and Aby Coulibaly which raised money for Fatboy’s mother, who needed live-saving surgery, and resulted in avoiding homelessness.

The music video for the song is an AI-animated one, directed by Connor Clarke, positively nightmarish, and frog entertainment-themed.

‘Boyfriend’ also features on the mixtape.

Bricknasty are Ballymun native, frontman and guitarist Fatboy, producer Cillian McCauley, Dara Abdurahman (bass), Korey Thomas (drums) and Louis Younge (sax/keys).
                 
Bricknasty were the house band playing with Aby Coulibaly this past week, on Coldplay’s Croke Park run in Dublin.
