Music Review | 12th Sept, 2024 His Father's Voice

Evocative Irish new-wave/post-punk outfit His Father's Voice release brilliant debut album Black Poison Morning along with new single, Interior Decorator.

Since their formation the band has been delivering a brooding yet purposeful sound with soaring pop melodies, muscular rhythms, and immersive guitars. The live show tugs at a heavy atmosphere that looms around lead singer Ash O'Connor and lead guitarist James Reidy, intensified by Laya Meabhdh Kenny and Cian McGuirk who contain and release a moody rhythm section.

2024 has been a positive year for the band following the release of the New-wave inspired singles Arm's Length and Forgot to Feed, followed by The Blues, a single propelled by driving guitars and a disruptive rhythm section.

With a number of releases under their belt along with festival appearances at Electric Picnic and Whelan's Ones to Watch, the Limerick band release their long awaited debut album, pack with the bands trademark sound.

Speaking about their album lead singer and rhythm guitarist Ash O'Connor says;

It feels as though our debut album grew up alongside us over a number of years, learning to navigate reluctance, longing and impatience. It's fragile alongside bolder and more resistant moments. We wanted an album that could find a home for both our sweeter sound and the murkier gothic cornerstone of our music.

This album collates and distills an energy that we've been testing out live for some time now. At times the music can feel like it's heaving along with us, fighting for emotional release.
