Indie duo, Cronin's, prepare for EP with single launch

Indie duo, Cronin's, have established themselves as influential figures in the Irish music scene, since their first release in 2006. Known for their evocative sound and dedication to their craft, the bands latest single showcases their uniques in the Irish music scene.

Renowned for their invigorating mix of Nick Cave, Echo & The Bunnymen, and classic British guitar bands (Hot Press), Michael and Johnny Cronin have been celebrated for their atmospheric, melody-driven sound.

Their latest single, Overlooking Paris, showcases the bands ability to create atmospheric sounding music, with a vocal line that croons with attitude.

Never ones to shy away from their influences, the band describe the track as their very own James Bond spy theme , drawing from the lush, cinematic worlds of John Barry and Serge Gainsbourg. Lyrically, it channels the stripped-back elegance of Tom Waits Johnsburg, Illinois and the nostalgic romance of good friend , Shane MacGowan's Summer in Siam.

Recorded at Black Box Studio, France, the track was produced by David Odlum (The Frames, Lisa O Neill, Sam Smith), who also contributes guitar and synths. Strings come courtesy of Anna Houston (No Crowes) and Steve Wickham (The Waterboys), with additional recording and mixing by Mick Cronin at the band own Transmission Rooms Studio.

Overlooking Paris is the first taste of an upcoming EP dropping in April, with tour dates to follow. The single artwork designed by Mick Cronin features a 1920's postcard of the Paris skyline from Notre Dame.

The single, Overlooking Paris, is available through all streaming platforms.
