Over the weekend, Conor O’Brien shared some lyric sheets for unreleased songs on Twitter.
Those acts of sharing were leading up to the release of a new 4-track EP today called The Sunday Walker which features four songs of mostly-orchestral assisted folk songwriting, which were recorded during the time of The Art Of Pretending To Swim sessions.
“The tracks that fell through the cracks; it turns out they had their own story to tell. The Sunday Walker EP is a collection of lost songs as much as it is an emotional arc. Songs of loss and songs of realisation. Songs of empathy and isolation.”
