Danny Carroll, co-curator of the A Litany Of Failures compilation series, has a new song out. “Cheesemonger” features on the aforementioned compilation and finds Carroll wrestling with self-deprecation and sincerity.
This is Carroll’s second single of the year following the January release of “Affection“. Hailed as “a compelling re-introduction” (The Last Mixed Tape) and an “idiosyncratic first outing” (Headstuff) the track received coverage on RTÉ Radio 1 and Hot Press among others.
Having opened for Jeffrey Lewis and Pavement guitarist Spiral Stairs, Carroll switched his focus to recording his debut album. Working with Belfast-based producer Chris W. Ryan (NewDad, Just Mustard, Robocobra Quartet), the two developed songs with a playful, anything-goes approach. Incorporating classical guitar, lap steel, and melodica, Carroll’s songs have been compared to the likes of Wilco, Jonathan Richman, and Lee Hazelwood.
Check out the deadly video for “Cheesemonger” which was directed by Iarla McKeon below.
