Dublin-based indie rock project PRTLND returns with ‘Original Grace’, a warm, guitar-driven new single that showcases the songwriting strength and emotional authenticity that continue to win the project new fans across Ireland and beyond.
Led by French-born musician Mathieu, PRTLND has steadily built momentum through a combination of memorable melodies, thoughtful lyricism and a clear affection for the golden era of alternative guitar music. ‘Original Grace’ feels like a perfect distillation of that approach, pairing crunchy, melodic guitar work with an understated vocal performance that allows the song’s emotional weight to emerge naturally.
As the song unfolds, its soaring chorus arrives with a sense of inevitability, rewarding the patient build-up with a genuinely uplifting release. Influences from artists such as Teenage Fanclub, Sam Fender and Weezer can be felt throughout, while still leaving plenty of room for PRTLND’s own identity to shine through.
Having already amassed tens of thousands of streams and established a growing reputation on Dublin’s live circuit, PRTLND is quickly becoming one of the city’s most exciting independent voices.
