JOE’s Song Of The Day #636: Dylan Murphy ‘Anxious Times’

Dylan Murphy has released his new single.

Dylan Murphy is a Galway-based musician from Limerick. He must have had an eventful Sunday just gone with the All-Ireland Hurling Final and indeed, the new song, 'Anxious Times' seems very aptly titled. The songwriter has made a name for himself performing self-penned songs that hold more honesty than a confessional booth and more urgency than a getaway car. ‘Anxious Times’ is a blues-folk infused rush, that sounds somewhere between Courtney Barnett and Jack White. It's taken from his soon to be released EP, 'Make Plans' which is due for release in September. The lyrics, “all the words we used before don’t mean the same things anymore, get on your knees and pray that two and two don’t equal four”, capture lightning in a bottle – they are the perfect encapsulation of the mass anxiety being felt everywhere these days. https://youtu.be/4TbNV8-olQ0 Clip via Dylan Murphy Music If you'd like to keep tabs on Dylan and his career, you can follow his Facebook page right here.
