Cliffords have shared their new single ‘Bittersweet’, their first release through Soil To The Sun.
The Cork band, fronted by Iona Lynch, are following up on their self-released debut EP from last year, marking their first collaboration with producer Richie Kennedy at London’s Battery Studios.
“Bittersweet is a more abstract look at nostalgia and our last few years of living in Cork,” Lynch explains. “The first few lines of the song ‘the city begged look up’ comes from something my grandad always said to me, ‘look up or you’ll miss half the beauty of the city’. Bittersweet reflects the mixed emotions of us as a band finding our way in music and in ourselves as young adults. The lyrics poke fun at heartbreaks and how dramatic and potent those feelings felt at the time.”
