Conchúr White releases The 'Dreamers' EP - Listen Now!

Northern Irish artist Conchúr White has released his stunning new EP ‘Dreamers’ There’s a dream-like surrealism in White’s musical storytelling which he delivers with an understated theatrical manner – with lyrical influences including the likes of Father John Misty, Lana Del Rey, Alex Turner, and Charles Bukowski.

Thematically the EP touches upon a number of pressing cultural issues and quandaries, all somewhat inadvertently rooted in a similar area – with Conchúr elaborating further: “I didn’t write the EP with a theme in mind but I’ve found there to be one. It’s about the importance of pushing yourself out the door but also giving yourself a break and understanding that everyone’s circumstances are different.”

The ‘Dreamers’ EP was written over a year and a half long period which coincided with Conchúr starting a new job working with children and young people – many of whom came from difficult backgrounds. Those experiences began to seep into his songwriting, with the EP addressing those situations head on.

Hailing from County Armagh in Northern Ireland, Conchúr White achieved notable success in Ireland with his previous band Silences, who split in 2019. Upon parting ways, Conchúr felt an outpouring of creativity and began working on solo material – with Conchúr’s 2020 debut ‘Bikini Crops’ EP the initial result of those writing sessions.

EP ‘Dreamers’ is set to shed further light on that period of his life. Recorded across various different studios in the UK and US, Conchúr worked with producers including Kevin McMahon (Frightened Rabbit, Real Estate) and Simon Dine (Paul Weller), with EP finally being mixed by Matt Wiggins (London Grammar, Glass Animals, The Horrors).
