Northern Irish artist Conchúr White has released the title-track from his forthcoming new ‘Dreamers’ EP which arrives ahead of tours with Villagers and Margaret Glaspy later this year. The ex-Silences singer impressed with his debut EP Bikini Crops last year and further still recent singles Vacation Vacation and Go Easy which also appear on the Dreamers EP.

“It’s about feeling silly for having dreams or aspirations beyond what you’ve known, so you make excuses or self sabotage,” Conchúr explains of Dreamers which explores small town mindsets. “I worked with a lot of young people from the local area who at such a young age felt like they wouldn’t go beyond where they were, which was quite sad. The main message is we all have a right to dream and aspire for something more whether it seems silly or not.”

the Armagh artist’s new work was written over an 18 month period and recorded in the UK and US with producers including Kevin McMahon (Frightened Rabbit, Real Estate) and Simon Dine (Paul Weller), the EP was then mixed by Matt Wiggins (London Grammar, Glass Animals, The Horrors).

The ‘Dreamers’ EP is released 18 June.
