A video for the track is said to be on the way for sometime in December...
Dubh Lee, one of our Lockdown Sessions alum, occupies a unique space between folk and blues. Her latest single, 'Carousel', is a raucous blues-rock tune in which the singer cries out in loneliness and distress.
Recorded in The Meadow recording studio in Co. Wicklow, the track deals with using partying as a coping mechanism. The singer enlisted the help of David Griffin from New Secret Weapon to record the bass and drums for the track.
In the past, Dubh Lee has performed at events all over Ireland such as Electric Picnic and the Ruby Sessions, along with more intimate shows opening for acts such as Jack Lukeman and Bagatelle, and she supported jazz band Jimmy’s Cousin on their Irish tour in 2019. From folk beginnings, she has transitioned from performing solo with an acoustic guitar to performing heavier material with a bassist and a drummer, now playing energetic live sets as a power trio featuring songs with blues and garage rock influences.
