Indie duo The Awning Release Delicate Sounding Single

Music Review | 30th July, 2024 The Awning

Blending folk and psychedelic sounds, The Awning are the latest musical project by multi-instrumentalists singer-songwriters Darragh Purcell and Evan Flaherty, previously from the band Scoth.

The latest single from the duo is July, a delicate song with fingerpicking over an atmospheric swirling background and beautiful harmonies, with hints of Simon & Garfunkel or Crosby Stills And Nash.

July has deep meaning for the band who wrote the song in the aftermath of losing a dear friend, delving into the raw emotions of grief.

Speaking about the track the band says;

This song was written in the aftermath of losing a dear friend who passed away far too soon. It explores the vulnerable emotions of grief and serves as a poignant reminder of life's fragility.

The lyrics narrate the events from his drowning to the funeral, with each day passing swiftly and insignificantly. Such moments make you question life and confront the reality that you cannot control the broader course of events. The carefree and joyful essence of summer is upended, forever altering what the month of July signifies for all of us. This song is for him.
