Radley O’Brien Shares ‘It’s Gonna Get You Just When You Think It’s Gone’

Radley O’Brien has shared his soothing new song ‘It’s Gonna Get You Just When You Think It’s Gone’.

The Philadelphia songwriter’s new EP ‘When Your Father Couldn’t Dance’ is out shortly, bringing his promise to fruition.

Gentle of pace, assured of lyric, Radley O’Brien seems able to take a fresh look at some familiar emotions in his work.

With the new EP incoming – produced alongside Luke Temple, no less – he’s able to share something unexpected.

‘It’s Gonna Get You Just When You Think It’s Gone’ twists and turns in and around itself, with Radley’s sense of invention producing some wonderful moments.

He comments…

“This was a time characterised by an endless abyss of time, alone in a bedroom and sometimes a back deck in Austin, TX. For me, the only way to cope with the suspension of familiar reality was to fully plunge into a creative practice and finally catalogue the years of obsessive and absurd voice memos I had logged in my phone. I watched old movies on my little TV/VCR, ate PB & J breakfast sandwiches on biscuits every day, and regressed into a strange sort of musical womb.”

“To me, when it’s at its best, I hope the record feels like being tightly squeezed between the alien and the intimate. This isn’t a party record. It is a feeling helpless laying in bed with headphones on at the end of a weird night record. Queer lullabies crafted in a makeshift womb.”

Tune in now.
