The track is about the fact that change happens slowly and then one day jumps up on you and takes you by surprise ; it touches on themes of love lost, love gained, love cherished, fatherhood and family.
Track Of The Day: Oisin Leech releases brand new track ‘One Hill Further’ ahead of new album
In some ways it’s a lament sung to the sea about the reassurances of love. The ocean responds and offers a sense of belonging.”
“The lyrics are about missing someone who has moved on – someone who can be glimpsed on the horizon, but who cannot be reached.”
On March 8th, Oisin Leech will release his Steve Gunn-produced debut LP Cold Sea on Outside Music & Tremone Records.
Recorded in Co. Donegal, in an old sea-facing schoolhouse that Leech and Gunn transformed into a working studio, the album features contributions from M. Ward and Tony Garnier, a long-time member of Bob Dylan’s touring band, alongside Irish folk legend Dónal Lunny, and Róisín McGrory.
In support of his debut Leech is announcing the Maiden Voyage Concert series, during which he will play a run of dates in Ireland with an ensemble featuring Gunn and the musicians Dónal Lunny and Róisín McGrory. Full details of those performances and further solo shows can be found below.
Oisin headlines The Sugar Club Dublin April 4th. London April 30th and Paris May 3rd.
He has also been invited on tour by Gaz Coombes in the UK.
