SOMEWHERE NORTH UNVEILS A FRESH SONIC ODYSSEY: A BLEND OF ALT-ROCK EXTRAVAGANCE AND POP INGENUITY

Somewhere North started in 2024 by the longstanding friendship and creative camaraderie of Gary O'Neill and Geoff Warner-Clayton, concocting a sound that fuses heavily-produced alt-rock tracks with a tantalising pop flavour.

Growing up together in Kilkenny, Gary and Geoff have been musical compatriots since their teenage years, carving their individual paths in the music industry. Geoff, renowned as a session musician, musical director, and producer- having collaborated with the likes of Kingfishr, Hudson Taylor, Lisa Hannigan, Sorcha Richardson, and James Vincent McMorrow. As the musical director and collaborator with Gavin James, Geoff has graced stages across five continents since 2018 and contributed to his latest EP, 'Boxes.' Meanwhile, Gary, also a producer and singer-songwriter with several solo albums under his belt, has garnered over +1,000,000 streams on Spotify with his EP, but has also toured with notable acts such as Villagers, 10cc, Paul Kelly and David Keenan among others. He is a participant of Ireland Music Week 2023,
and last year supported by the Arts Council of Ireland through the Agility Award scheme to conceptualise and self-produce his latest record 'Fragments' - which is set for release in May 2024. His debut album will be out in November 2024.

Somewhere North sets the stage with their debut single, "Eden," the inaugural release from a trove of unreleased tracks. This track serves as an exciting glimpse into the duo's sonic universe, a song that lives for an addictive chorus-pop hook, where intricate sound design and modern production converge to create something unique. At its core, Somewhere North is a celebration of friendship and a shared passion for creating music - for the sake of making music.
