Dublin-based songwriter Paddy Hanna today reveals “Cannibals”, the first track from his forthcoming album The Hill. “Cannibals” is out now on all digital platforms. The Hill, which will be released on September 25th, is available to pre-order via https://www.strangebrew.ie/

As Paddy explains about the new single - “Cannibals is a maze of conflicted thought, it asks the question, are we decent people or demons in cheap wigs? The track mixes organic with inorganic sounds to create that conflict, acoustic instruments blend with found drum sounds while woozy synthesisers create an uncertain haze. The end-result, I hope, is something resembling Ennio Morricone by way of Late period Tom Waits, but I’ll let you draw your own conclusions”.

The album features Girl Band’s Adam Faulkner and Daniel Fox on Drums & Double Bass, Daniel Fitzpatrick (Badhands, The Mighty Stef) on guitar & Keys and Jill Redmond on Vocals. The record was produced by Daniel Fox and the artwork was designed by Jill Redmond.

Paddy explains further about the album – “We lost ourselves on the Hill, Daniel, Daniel, Adam and I. a seemingly endless spell of isolation spent banging sheet metal, rusted hubcaps and blistering our fingers through non stop recording.

The Hill is an internal musical about how the past and the present exist at the same time in our minds. It deals with the struggles of mental health, the sometimes difficult search for happiness and the moral conflict of growing up in Catholic Ireland.

As a listener I want you to take a seat inside my head, to smell the west cork air, to feel the gravel under your feet. In order to get this we set up ambient mics outside our makeshift studio to capture the natural landscape, we wandered boatyards and an abandoned train station recording old bits of metal we would clang, to give the album a sense of place. Sonically we also wanted to step away from the String sections used on Leafy Stiletto, opting instead to create melodies and tones using vocals and synthesisers.

Most importantly however, I just wanted to put the past behind me on this record, I wanted to leave it on the hill. I hope you enjoy my therapy”.

Hanna’s third album will be released via Strange Brew

"I knew at the start of the production process for this album that the record as a whole was going to sound totally different to anything that I've ever created or released to date. It had to be. I think subconsciously, I wanted to create a really unique record that pushed the boundaries a little bit. Not so much formulated pop structured songs, but more going with the flow and letting the tracks be what they want to be, when they want to be it. Every song written was a complete blank canvas. I really did have no idea where each one was going to go.

I've made something that I'm really proud of which is important to me. It can get quite heavy and upbeat when it wants to. I wrote a lot of it whilst touring the last record at festivals etc - so I was in that frame of mind. I was more hands on and in depth this time around too in terms of mixing etc. I didn't know when to stop at points! Back and forth, back and forth.

But it's done now, and I will have more news soon on a release date etc. For now, here is the first single.

So Much To Give & Live For is the first single taken from the new, upcoming album from Limerick electronic music singer, songwriter and producer Proper Micro NV (Rory Hall).

'So Much To Give & Live For' is a real go with the flow sort of track. It started off as something totally different, then changed, then settled. Then changed again. It kind of sums up the direction of the album as a whole. It's vocally experimental with a lot of chopping and altering. I think its my favourite song on the new record and I'm so proud that I've managed to make this kind of track - something that is actually quite free-form and relatively expansive, but also something that could work on a weird dance-floor.
