DUBLIN, Ireland – Solo artist Conan Brophy produces rock and alternative music with a heavy 50’s and 60’s influence. The result is catchy hook-driven pop songs with harmonies and soul, driven along by a razor-sharp guitar sound on the track, “Know My Name.”
For his songwriting influences, Brophy is heavily indebted to the music of the early 1960s, and in particular the beat music of the early British Invasion bands like Manfred Mann; The Kinks; The Zombies, and The Beatles.
As a guitar player, his style takes the delta blues of Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf and fuses it with more modern alternative sounds of The Shins and the Arctic Monkeys.
He also released another impressive single earlier called “The Conversation.”
“The Conversation is about how being human often means having to hold contradictory states at the same time,” Brophy says. “It’s like being sad while being in love; being a saint in one person’s eyes while being a sinner to another. There is no objective truth about who a person is just a collection of different people all inside the one person, depending on the moment you encounter them, the circumstances you encounter them in, and even the person you are when you meet them.”
The Conversation is the first of three Bandcamp exclusive releases to be followed by a full album.
The video that accompanies The Conversation is a short spy movie based on Conan’s favorite spy movies like The Ipcress File and The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. It’s a compelling story with an explosive ending.
