Dunny

Drawing inspiration from the likes of Robert Wyatt, Arthur Russell and XTC, Dunny is the solo project of Donnacha O’Malley, one of the founding members of Dublin-based experimental band, Meltybrains?.

O'Malley crafts vocal-driven compositions that explore self-harmony, blending experimental song structures with a rich tapestry of psychedelic influences. His work pushes the boundaries of conventional genres, weaving intricate melodies with avant-garde tendencies.

In 2023 he was awarded the Agility Award by the Arts Council. He went on to release his debut album Schtum in November 2024. Produced by fellow Meltybrains? bandmate Ben Bix and mastered by Jamie Hyland (M(h)aol), the album is an introspective exploration of sound that further solidifies his unique voice in the world of modern experimental music.

Dunny has begun work on his second album which is due to be released before the end of the year.
