Cork's Pebbledash are charting bold new sonic territory with 'O The Wind', a genre-defying preview of their forthcoming EP 'To Cast The Sea In Concrete', arriving 5th November.
Fresh from their track 'Carraig Aonair' featuring on Netflix's House of Guinness, the rising Irish act have delivered their most ambitious work yet. Where traditional folk meets trip-hop rhythms and shoegaze textures, 'O The Wind' finds Asha Egan McCutcheon's voice floating above an increasingly complex musical landscape.
The song begins deceptively simple—McCutcheon's sean nós-inflected vocals paired with harmonium and minimal guitar—before the rhythm section pulls the track into altogether stranger territory. What emerges is a hypnotic blend of fingerpicked guitars, string arrangements and off-kilter beats that nod to Portishead and DJ Shadow as much as Irish tradition.
"I think we all felt that this song represented a major departure for Pebbledash in terms of the barriers of genre we were willing to cross," says Cormac Donovan O'Neill. "We were incredibly excited to share this song as a statement of our development, attesting to the outer reaches of our sound we sought to explore in recording this EP."
With an aresnal olf tracks and an EP on the horizon, the band will also take their expanding sound on the road throughout November with a headline UK and Ireland tour.
'O The Wind' is out now. 'To Cast The Sea In Concrete' arrives 5th November.
