The All Clear‘s debut album, Harbour Songs, is a poignant and introspective journey into the depths of the human experience. Led by the Belfast-based musician and oncologist Joe O’Sullivan, the band delivers a deeply personal collection of songs that explore themes of love, loss, and healing.
O’Sullivan‘s lyrical prowess shines through on tracks like ‘Northern Soul’ and ‘I Won’t Be The Only One’, where his evocative storytelling and rich melodies draw listeners in. The album’s more intimate moments, such as ‘The Boy Who Cried A Dozen Times A Day’ and ‘Accidental Valentines’, offer a glimpse into the songwriter’s personal struggles and triumphs.
The production, handled by Rocky O’Reilly at Start Together Studios, strikes a delicate balance between polished sound and raw emotion. This allows the album’s vulnerability and resilience to shine through, making it both cathartic and comforting.
Inspired by his surroundings in the Harbour area of Belfast, the band’s music resonates deeply with listeners. Harbour Songs is a standout debut that showcases The All Clear‘s immense talent and potential.
