Having won praise from Cathal Coughlan of Microdisney and Fatima Mansions and Mike Scott of The Waterboys, Ger Eaton has released the latest song from his debut EP.

Released on London-based Dimple Discs, also home to Coughlan, Keeley, Sack, and Dragon Welding, The Time it Takes to Fall has just been added to the BBC Radio Ulster's playlist and radio support in Germany, Austria, UK, France, USA, Canada, and beyond.

Eaton’s Three EP, which also features the tracks Hollow and I Thought I’d A Friend, has been described by Mike Scott as "A beautiful slice of Scott Walker-esque pop" and been compared to The Beach Boys, Jimmy Webb, and Prefab Sprout.
