SJ McArdle - "Home"

New SJ McArdle single, “Home” (featuring Doctor Millar and Trevor Hutchinson) July 21st sees the release of Drogheda artist SJ McArdle’s first new music since last year’s critically-acclaimed RTÉ Radio 1 Album of the Week Old Ghosts In The Water. “Home” is a love letter to SJ’s wife Andrea, written upon the passing of her mother. It is a song of grief and loss, but also a song of love, motherhood and belonging. The language is literal as well as figurative. “Where did your Momma go?”. The question is answered in the chorus: Home. “A place to rest those bones”. The final verse commemorates the green thumbs of both Andrea and her mum. “Lily plant and passion flower/Rose of China, holly tree/find a place where you are free”. And where would that be? Home. Forever Home. The single features SJ on all instruments except drums by SJ’s old friend and collaborator James Mackin and bass by Irish music legend Trevor Hutchinson (Lúnasa, The Waterboys). Featured on harmony vocals is beloved Irish songwriting hero Seán “Doctor” Millar. Trevor also produces and mixes. “Home” is out on Bandcamp and all streaming services from July 21st. more info: sjmcardle.ie Praise for SJ McArdle: “(Old Ghosts in the Water is) an impressive song cycle ... the songs are intriguing and evocative; they are rooted in folk but coloured by expansive and imaginative arrangements.” – The Irish Times "What a great, great collection of songs this is from SJ McArdle. I urge you to go out and get it." – Fiachna Ó Braonáin (The Hothouse Flowers, RTÉ) “All the ingredients of great folk songs” – Lynette Fay (BBC) “SJ McArdle … can’t fail to capture your attention, with a sonorous voice – not unlike Garnet Rogers’s – that can be gritty and gruff yet also unexpectedly tender, even vulnerable. His writing exhibits a similar versatility.” – Sean Smith, Boston Irish “Quite lovely … McArdle’s voice has a breathy gruffness to it that is commanding without being loud, and it sets a strong tone. ‘The Hard Wind’, a McArdle original, is a lively, cutting song about Irish soldiers who returned to Ireland after World War I to acrimony and indifference.” – Daniel Neely, The Irish Echo “(In ‘The Hard Wind’) SJ McArdle has written a really fine and brave song … interesting, powerful and complex”– Mike Harding “Bravo for an artist who has taken contemporary Irish music to parts it far too seldom reaches” – Hot Press “SJ’s deep, sonorous voice brings authority to the songs. If Whipping Boy were raised in Nashville they might sound like this” – Mail On Sunday
