Product Description
Release Date: 5th September 2025
everything is nearly always falling apart when the next new low plays,
but somehow the well-crafted songs save us and we all leave with a comfortable glow.
the next new low refers to the journey from a terminal diagnosis to its inevitable end.
a lot of the songs directly reference this journey and its aftermath but don’t be misled.
the music is a celebration of life, where humor, pathos and wit abound.
in the 90s the next new low fronted the now legendary dublin band the Idiots.
on his record label ‘trust me i’m a thief’ he released artists such as
Jape, The Redneck Manifesto, Si Schroeder and Beautiful Unit
The next new low have played countless gigs and festivals, most notably, The National Concert Hall as part of the Metronome series, All together Now Festival,
Conakilty Guitar Festival and appeared on RTE’s Music from Ireland series and recorded with David Kitt, Jape, Conor O’Brien ( Villagers ),Wallis Bird,Glen Hansard and many others.
the next new low first vinyl record ‘the unreachable’ is to released this September 2025
It is a 6 track lo-fi gem, recorded at home with casio Mt-70 keyboards and guitars.
Its a natural progression from trauma to grief to the glimmers of hope and positivity.
contributions from Conor O’Brien (flugelhorn ), Lizzi Murtough (cello) and James Smith (guitar)
make this a delightful sonic journey.
think Nick Drake meets Jim O’Rourke meets Cass McCombs in Lou Reed’s house you’re somewhere close.
