Chatting to Dublin born musician A. Smyth about his new album “Hello Goliath”, his debut album “Last Animals”, playing live and in the studio.
Interview with A. Smyth
Today I am sharing an interesting conversation with A. Smyth; Dublin born musician, with an upcoming release – “Hello Goliath“.
In this interview Aaron and I discuss his inspirations growing up, including his Mam’s record collection which included music such as the E Street Band, as well as his Dad’s collection of music.
As well as this we discuss his new album – “Hello Goliath“; the name and it’s origin, the artwork, as well as some of the songs and singles that are on the album, and the meaning behind them, as well as the sounds expressed across the new album, including tracks like “Wasteland”, and the opening single for this record – “Can’t Stop The Rain”. Regarding “Can’t Stop The Rain”, we discuss its meaning, the inevitability of pain, and the beautiful musicianship that is paired with this track.
In the interview we also chat about his debut album – “Last Animals“, which was his first splash with an album as a solo artist. We discussed the dynamic between getting on to the scene and releasing singles, with Aaron being a very experienced musician at this point, after playing in several band and starting to play live and starting a new path with an album and what that entails not only as a creative project.
After meeting Aaron at a concert (The Pogues), I was impressed by his musical talent, and I have been excited to chat to him for ages, especially about his new album Hello Goliath, which is a personal favourite new album.
I am very excited to share this interview, and I hope you listen to Hello Goliath, as it is a beautiful album that I have a lot of time for!
