Fiontan CassidyThe new single from emerging Australian troubadour Fiontan Cassidy is “the result of listening to one too many Irish folk songs”.
Premiering today via The Music, Windwater Waters is the second track from the Launceston-based singer-songwriter.
“I think there’s something special about those melodies designed to be belted acapella in the middle of a crowded pub, it really forces them to stand on their own,” Cassidy said.
“Not having to fumble around with finding chords to start with also meant it came together quite fast. The biggest challenge was working out if you actually want to be on windward waters as opposed to leeward.
“I’m still not entirely sure, but in this industry, alliteration trumps nautical accuracy every time. So I’m told!”
Check out Windwater Waters above ahead of its official release tomorrow.
