I’ve been keeping an ear to Kilkenny man Pete Lawlor’s aka Replete’s productions for a while now. His last EP showed promise but I felt, didn’t stand out from the crowd enough for me to go back to or recommend.
New song ‘Never This Way’ is a step away from that sound towards a more chilled post-club warmer vibe which is a palette in which Lawlor makes more of an impression.
