Functioning as the creative outlet for Irish songwriter and producer Ryan Hunt, Castle Arcade draws from a range of contemporary influences to craft an emotive, delicate brand of indie-pop. In the debut EP, the Monaghan-based musician explores all things coming-of-age in the modern world - first dates, falling in love, falling out of love and battling anxiety.
The title track from the EP specifically navigates this journey of falling in love behind the battle of social anxiety that many of us understand all too well - a celebration of those tender but nerve-wracking moments when words fail but emotions are overwhelming. Entirely produced by Hunt alongside Keelan O’Reilly of Post-Party, the EP features mixing by Michael Heffernan (The Script, Dermot Kennedy) and Peter Montgomery (Tame Impala) on mastering duties.
The debut has a strong team behind it, delivering an overall candid insight into youth, discovery and growth, all driven by an electronic-indie sound.
