The record Red Blood Cells and Righteousness arrives Wednesday 1st November via Strange Brew, and features some of the biggest names in Irish music today.
Brian Dillon of Meltybrains?, under the pseudonym The Line, has released the second single off of his upcoming collaborative record, Red Blood Cells and Righteousness.
Called 'Communion', the track features songwriters Loah and Fehdah and follows the album's lead single, 'Patience of Saints' with Godknows and MuRli.
On the song, Dillon says, "Communion is a song about who you are, where you’re from and how the experiences of the past shape the person that you are now. In the song, both Loah and Fehdah explore these ideas from both personal and societal standpoints. It explores the regrets felt by individuals in a society which is built on so many mistakes that it may never be able to redeem itself."
The 13-track album focuses on the importance of community and communal values and contains more collaborative tracks from some of the most exciting names in Irish music, including Sorcha Richardson, Dan Fox (Gilla Band), Sarah Corcoran (Pillow Queens), Caoi de Barra (Wyvern Lingo), Lullahush, and many more.
"This is an album built on personal relationships and communication, dedicated to playing a small but significant role as a part of a world so much bigger than any of us are willing to admit. After all, maybe we’re all just blood cells, swimming through the veins of the earth, serving a much higher function."
