Determined to spread their music and their message worldwide from their home and studio in Cork, Ireland, ambient artist Eoin Shannon has turned heads with their commitment to their work, assertively seizing every opportunity they continue to make for themself. Defined by lyrics that prove as poetic as they are poignant, and a rhythmic sensibility in their instrumentality that proves entirely their own, they have given fans all they could possibly ask for as they continue to define their creative legacy. Their latest album release, Every Drunk’s Gotta Story, proves itself as an incredible addition to their already robust repertoire, drawing listeners in closer with every note, and finding a way to stay in our minds long after the sounds have left our speakers.
An eclectic and well rounded example of the artist’s talents and proclivities, the record reflects a wide range of defining characteristics throughout its verses. While some tracks such as Pour Me Some Unconditional Love and Sweetheart Candy Lovin earn their place in our playlists through their upbeat and danceable melodies, we get a sense for the depth of the artist’s narrative prowess throughout several softer, piano-centric ballads such as Bartender, Pull Up A Stool, and Let’s Get The Hell Outta Town.
A bold declaration of talent from this ambitious jazz-inspired bandleader, we feel their vision come to life with every track on this collection. Having accomplished so much with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this artist’s mind and studio.
