On the day that they released their debut album, Songs of Last Resort, we spoke with siblings James and Brian Edwards of the Dublin-based guitar-and-drum rock duo HUNTINGS about the album, the gallows humour in the title, the near decade wait of getting it made, working with pop producer Terry Doyle on the album and what their different experiences brought to the project, Steve Albini, filling auditory space as a two-piece, their album launch gig at Upstairs at Whelan’s, how their sound differs live from on the record, and much more.
HUNTINGS’ debut album, Songs of Last Resort, is out now. You can keep up with HUNTINGS on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Tickets for their gig at Fred Zeppelins, Cork tomorrow night are available through Eventbrite.
