The group's first release in three years brings sultry punk-rock vibes to the fore...
Dublin-based band, My Sweet Beloved, are back with broodingly haunting new single 'Serpentine'.
Their first release since 2020 sees an incredibly instrument-heavy offering, with dotted ethereal vocals. Heavily distorted electric guitar leads the track as building drum-beats engulf the grunge-leaning mix.
Minimal lyrics fill the track, but of them there is clear cunning and knowledge. Vocalist and songwriter for the track, Danielle Harrison Byrne, takes few seductive and snake-like lyrics and perfectly positions them, allowing us to picture this slinking, slithering creature in the most vivid way.
My Sweet Beloved is made up of a host of musicians of real excellence. Danielle, formerly of Skindive, takes lead vocals, Derek Byrne is on guitar duties (Autumn Owls), bassist is Anton Hegarty (Future Kings of Spain, A Lazarus Soul) and Dan Devlin takes charge of drums (Moskowitz).

The group's self-titled debut album was met with serious acclaim, followed by radio silence from the quartet for approximately three years. Whether this is the result of the pandemic or other projects is unknown, but what we do know is we're very glad they're back!
And... we're promised this isn't the last of them. Settle in and soak up 'Serpentine' because it won't be long before we get more from the group.
