Monaghan three-piece Sun.Set.Ships are an electronic live band with pop sensibilities who will follow up their debut single and EP with ‘D_lay’, which is out on Friday.
The band suggest the song has elements of the xx and The Police but I reckon the track is less tied to obvious influences – moving between Balaeric indie pop and introspective electronica.
Sun.Set.Ships next gig is at Arcadian Fields’ Festival in Bellurgan Park Dundalk on Sat 5th August.
