The track is by Galway indie artist KONNO, co-written by Dillon Brady. It was recorded, mixed and produced by the artist in a turf shed in the west of Ireland.
Anthony Thistlethwaite of The Waterboys and The Saw Doctors plays solo saxophone on the track.
The song captures the feeling of standing at a crossroads – overwhelmed by choices that will determine the course of two friends’ lives. Crushed by the weight of these choices, the friends find themselves longing for a lifeline.
Known for his deeply personal lyrics, guitar-driven sound and memorable hooks, KONNO released his self-produced debut single ‘Meet Me Later’ at the end of 2024. His ‘Dream Talks’ single, with a video filmed on Silverstrand in Barna, is available on Youtube.
‘Life Line’ shows a more mature sound for the Galway musician, and seems catchy enough to flirt with commercial success in an Irish music scene showing a marked indie-Britpop-rock and roll influence kicked off by the Oasis reunion last year. One to watch.
