Fintan McKahey to Release

Friday 30th, 2019

Following on from the success of his latest EP and title track ‘God Games’ Fintan McKahey returns with a dark & sultry new offering ‘The Rebound Effect’ set for release on September 8, 2019.

The video was made by Dog Day Media (who contributed to Songwriter doc on Ed Sheeran)

Continuing his exploration of down tempo alt-pop. ‘The Rebound Effect’ invites the listener to share a dreamscape. In referencing the doomsday clock, climate change and mankind’s exploitation of the world’s natural resources; the song reveals glimpses of a post apocalyptic void.

“The sun cries ready to explode

It’s on over load near the end of...

The cliff fades weathers and corrodes

From a land we stole and hold

The steel cracked solace of your soul

As you lose control of it all...”

Fintan wrote the song after a dream about the end of the world. “The song is about Karma really, that the earth is going to kill everyone including itself, because of our actions. In a way we are killing ourselves with our own laziness & greed.” ‘The Rebound Effect’ is dark, sultry and mocking in its appraisal of mankind’s misdeeds and displays Fintan’s ability to capture imagery in his song writing.

Fintan McKahey is the son of Stump drummer, Rob McKahey, and the nephew of Cousteau singer, Liam McKahey. A multi-disciplinary artist, Fintan continues to work as a performer in Ireland, having trained as a classical actor at Kinsale’s amphitheatre and collaborates with artists in film, photography and dance.

‘The Rebound Effect’ was recorded and produced in Fintan’s home studio in West Cork and mastered by Darren Jennings in Woodside Sound Studios. ‘The Rebound Effect’ is out September 8 with a launch show in The Roundy in Cork City.
