Cantered Soul, which started out as a two piece but developed into a band during lockdown, are hoping their new single Snake Eyes will give people a taste of things to come.
Lead singer Sean Buckley, who co-founded the band with Patrick O’Reilly said the Dublin based band they are already planning to release their first EP in 2025 and plan to release another single in the coming months.
Speaking about how the process of the single came about, lead singer Sean Buckley said: “This track was first conceived about 8 years ago. It started as a simple 2 chord progression on acoustic guitar, evolving into a stomping six-piece ensemble with attitude from the band that is now Cantered Soul. Snake eyes represents that shadow that lurks in the background, the tempter, the judge, the deep part of our subconscious. The song has revealed itself to me over time. I never set out to write the song about a particular subject as I like to write from emotion and tend not to follow the general rules of songwriting.”
He added: “It’s safe to say we took our time with this one putting in months of pre-production. I think the band and the producer really captured the essence of the song and we had lots of fun with it as you will hear upon listening. I have heard lots of theories on what the song is about and I suppose this is a good thing.”
