Irish Psychedelic rockers Cosmic Embers have released their second single, Falling Star. We asked them the BIG questions . . .
Cosmic Embers are Paddy O'Keeffe (guitars, keys, vocals), Adam Walsh (bass), and Anto Walsh (drums).
The founding pair, Paddy, and his nephew Adam, found that their different tastes when combined, resulted in unique melodies and atmospheres, fusing genres to create their sound.
With influences such as The Doors, David Bowie, and Radiohead, the band creates sonic landscapes in which they tell their tales and stories of humour and anxieties about the world we live in.
Speaking about their new song, they say, "Falling Star is an introspective tale about an imaginary place that we visit from time to time. We know we shouldn’t overstay our welcome, as tempting as it may be."
