JOE’s Song Of The Day #585: Deep Sky Objects – ‘This City’s At War’

Deep Sky Objects are back with a banger.

Deep Sky Objects include brothers Kevin O’Brien (lead vocals and guitar), Thomas O’Brien (drums and backing vocal) and DD Foley (bass guitar and backing vocals). They released their debut EP back in 2015 and have gone on to forge themselves a reputation as a band to keep an eye on. Drawing on influences from The Smiths, Interpol and Radiohead, Deep Sky Objects light up 2018 with their new single. The vigorous, punchy Director-esque 'This City’s At War'  is a search for an answer in a time of uncertainty. The fizzing melodic guitar counters with the languid melancholic vocal. “I don’t know who I’m fighting for” bemoans lead singer Kevin O’Brien at the centre of the song’s earworm hook.  It begs the question, in a time when we all ‘must’ have an opinion, is it okay to say “I don’t know?” Must we have already picked a side? And is ignorance truly bliss? Deep Sky Objects have set out with purpose and 'This City’s At War' sizzles with impetus and expectancy. As we enter the spring of another year Deep Sky Objects not only feel like a part of the commentary but also assures us of the potential that both the band and 2018 holds to dazzle us. The lads will be doing a lot of live dates around the country in the coming months and you can get more details via their Facebook page right here.
