Get ready for the soulful universe of Gareth Dunlop, the synth-pop songwriter hailing from Belfast. His latest single, ‘Church’, is set to drop on January 5th via Zenith Cafe, offering a sneak peek into his eagerly awaited third album, ‘Welcome To The House Of I Don’t Know’, slated for an early summer release next year. As we approach 2024, it’s evident that Dunlop is on the brink of a new era in his sonic exploration.
In a recent statement, Dunlop shared, “‘Church’ was the last song we recorded for the album… from the moment I finished writing it I knew I wanted it to be the first track on the record that pointed to everything that came after it. As soon as the rest of the songs were tracked we knew what way ‘Church’ had to be captured. It starts the same way the last album track finishes, each verse & chorus introduces new elements that appear throughout the record and gradually builds into an explosion using every instrument & voice that makes sound throughout the album.”
With a musical journey that has garnered him acclaim and support slots alongside legends like Van Morrison, Snow Patrol, and James Morrison, Gareth Dunlop’s talent is poised to captivate audiences globally. His dedicated following of over 90,000 monthly Spotify listeners attests to the resonance of his artistry.
So, buckle up, as ‘Church’ invites us on a divine voyage through Gareth Dunlop’s musical universe, where each note reveals a story and every beat echoes with a heartbeat. Go back and listen to some of his other work until it arrives on January 5th:
