The Fynches is the brainchild of brothers Ferdia and Oisín Walsh-Peelo. Together with drummer Camryn Teehan they have been uniting their various fortés to create the eclectic, folk-rock aesthetic that permeates their music. They have a strong vocal-harmony sound which echoes the likes of CSN, The Band, and The Beach Boys. With two acclaimed double A-Side releases under their belt, appearances on The Late Late Show and Fanning at Whelan’s, as well as live performances in The Olympia Theatre, The Fynches are now in the process of recording their debut album.
With a string of single releases on the horizon, The Fynches are an exciting band to watch out for. Today (Thursday 2nd May), they release their new single ‘Easier.’
In a delightful nod to their origins, ‘Easier’ marks a poignant return to the raw, authentic essence of The Fynches. Recorded in the Wicklow hills, this track exudes a wistful charm that effortlessly tugs at the heartstrings. Produced with meticulous care by The Fynches themselves, it serves as testament to their journey. Through its infectious melody and candid lyrics, Easier acknowledges the trials of yesteryears while embracing the promise of brighter tomorrows. With a soulful vocal performance by Ferdia, each note carries an undeniable vulnerability, inviting listeners into a world of personal reflection.
The arrangement is a warm cushion of sound, with Oisín’s masterful touch elevating the composition to new heights. A jubilant horn section dances gracefully atop a sturdy groove infusing the song with a grace that befits its feel-good energy. Notably, a vintage ‘Framus’ bass takes center stage during the chorus, weaving a spellbinding melody that lingers long after the final note fades. At its core, “Easier” is a testament to The Fynches’ unwavering passion for their craft. Rooted in the timeless allure of analogue recording techniques and brimming with soulful sincerity, it stands as a shining example of their musical ethos—a celebration of life, love, and the enduring power of music.
