A poignant and emotive piece of indie folk that’s embedded with ideas and a fire of renewal, ‘Realign’ is luscious and bright across its short runtime. It’s a vibrant piece of modern indie pop, sung by an Irishman who wears his heart and accent on his sleeve with abandon. Gavin Doyle’s reputed experience as a session musician and multi-instrumentalist definitely comes out resplendently on this record that’s loaded from back to front with instrumental intricacies and an arrangement that’s complex but outwardly sumptuous and smooth.
His latest piece, ‘Realign’, is all about finding hope amidst and after times of despair and sadness. It’s about rediscovering that emotion of truly yearning for each moment of life as something to claw on to and extract every possible bit out of it. After a strenuous and emotionally draining two years, ‘Realign’ is precisely the kind of tune that helps you bounce back.
