Meltybrains? & Dermot Kennedy drummer Micheál Quinn releases solo EP

Micheál Quinn has spent the last two years playing drums on tour worldwide with his friend Dermot Kennedy.

Known for his passion for his instrument and his many live drum videos, the Meltybrains? and Enemies drummer, Quinn is one the finest in the country.

With everyone in live music having to down tools, Quinn has been working on music of his own lately, and the result will be a debut album Colours that is forthcoming.

In advance, Quinn has shared two tracks on Bandcamp, which he described as “Lush melodic arrangements surrounded by hectic electronic drum/percussion parts.”

The tracks are available on limited CD on Bandcamp or check out his extensive site for merch.

Here’s ‘Lost’ from the Natural History Museum gig. First video is with the full track and the second video is just the sound in the room. Missing this kit an awful lot again as it lives with all the gear. Hope people are doing well out there! ❤️ And if not, that’s ok. Everything has to come and go. Just breathe, enjoy your breath. It knows the way. It just comes and goes 🥰 Having a fun day here getting all sorts of things together for some upcoming thaaaangs 🥳🥳
