Ciaran Lavery – ‘Okkervil River’

With the forthcoming release of Let The Bad in and a productive and eventful SXSW Festival behind him, Ciaran Lavery has revealed the second single from the album due on May 27th.

‘Okkervil River’ adds a fresh perspective to Lavery’s craft, moving from ambient folk pop with digital beats to brass-lead crescendo swirling around his breathy vocals.

Lavery says Let Bad In is an album based on the naivety of childhood & the loss of that innocence with age. It all started as his uncle handed him an old VHS tape with home video footage of a family trip when he was seven.

Listen to the first single ‘Return To Form’

Ciaran Lavery Live shows:

6th May Belfast, St George’s Church
14th May Dublin, Freemasons Hall
23rd May Brussels, Huize 23 AB
24th May Hamburg, Prinzenbar
25th May Berlin, Badehause Szimpla
26th May Amsterdam, Bitterzoet
27th May London, St Pancras Old Church
