A. Smyth has announced his live return this November with a show in The Grand Social Dublin. The singer-songwriter who is currently still in the glow of favourable reviews for his debut album ‘Last Animals’ – read our review here – has shared a video for the album’s closing track and latest single ‘Tempt’.

This song looks at how robust the human spirit is. No matter how dark it might get, we have a fail-safe switch that always believes there’ll come a crack of light,” explains Smyth, who turned to talented director Rioghnach Ní Ghrioghair to bring the track to life on film.

It’s not easy creating something during a pandemic but it’s been a joy to work with Aaron on his new video. We wanted to create something humble yet intimate for such a delicate song and we were so grateful to work with powerhouse talents Aaron Monaghan and Clare Monnelly in its creation,” says Ní Ghrioghair of the thought process behind the video.

‘Last Animals ‘is now available on limited edition clear yellow vinyl via BandCamp
