Astronaut by Alan Swanwick
Cork songwriter Alan Swanwick's debut album was released on November 11th 2022. This is an accomplished collection of songs which combine big loud guitar sounds and soulful melodic tunes with well crafted lyrics. The album circles around grief and the human instinct to keep moving forward through difficult times. In these songs Alan captures a full range of difficult and complicated emotions and ignites them in the listener as they join him on the journey of Astronaut. Alan's mastery is thoughtfully constructing a reflection of human experience with light, vigour and often humour. His unique voice with its deep tone and tender edge delivers his lyrics perfectly. You will find your own story in these songs.
