about

Second single release from upcoming album Moll & Zeis.

A sweet, uplifting melody intertwined with bittersweet lyrics, that seems to give a nod to a love that could be fraying at the edges. From the beautiful opening chords, right through to the end, it will make you feel like you want more of whatever it is. Love, loss, hope, all of it.

This maxi-single features title track 'Dreams Come', b-side 'Meet Me On Another Day' and bonus track 'Always On Your Own'. Recorded remotely over a distance due to lockdown limitations, this release previews the duo's 'Moll & Zeis' LP, to be released in September 2021.

Two artists who need no introduction in their homeland of Ireland, David Long and Shane O'Neill have announced their 'Dreams Come' 3-track single. While each of them are perhaps best known as frontmen / vocalists of successful 1980’s post-punk / indie rock bands, the two songwriters have now joined forces to create some inspiring new music.

David Long was the face of 1980s band Into Paradise, who released two albums and several EP’s on legendary British independent label Setanta Records and also one major - Ensign. Their most successful album was their major record label debut, the Adrian Borland-produced 'Churchtown'.

Shane O’Neill fronted Blue In Heaven, who recorded / released a few singles and demos (including one produced by U2's The Edge) before signing to Island Records in 1985. Their debut album 'All The Gods Men' was produced by Martin Hannett (Joy Division, Magazine, New Order, OMD, Happy Mondays). 1986 brought the 'Explicit Material' LP, produced by Island Records head Chris Blackwell and Eric Thorngren. Their popularity grew as they toured with the likes of U2, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Damned. In 1990, the band reformed as The Blue Angels.

Hailing from the same part of Dublin, Long and O'Neill have known each other since they were 6 or 7, when they knocked over Shane’s TV set, fighting over which channel to watch. Their first band was a trio called amuse with David on bass and vocals, Shane on guitar, and Dave Clarke (Warren Zevon, now Hothouse Flowers) on drums. After splitting and doing their separate thing, around 1996 they recorded an album as Supernaut.

Their new music output can be described as folk art garage rock, recalling a time when bands were clumsy and unrehearsed. Atmospheric, emotional, not interested in technique, or campfire sing-songs. The reverb is as important as the notes in some places, and it’s a good thing if you cannot recreate the full sound live.
