“Charmer” by Scustin”
Ssustin have released new single “Charmer”. The song arrives during the Dublin band’s current tour of Ireland, they play their next show on November 7th in Limerick, Ireland.
Recorded and produced by Richie Kennedy (EOB, Interpol, Shame, and The Murder Capital) at Black Mountain Studios, with new single ‘Charmer’ the band dive headfirst into their funk and disco roots, giving an artistic nod to the likes of Luther Vandross, Republic of Loose, Michael Jackson, and early Daft Punk. Perhaps the cherry on top is the undeniable backing vocal performance of Sadhbh O’Brien, a longtime friend of the band, who brings a sense of grandeur to the track.
Commenting on the track, the band say: “The new single is an analysis of the deluded—a love song rooted in fiction, a love letter to the Celtic Tiger—Ireland’s boom era. ‘Charmer’ narrates the tale of a pub regular who attempts to hide their insecurities and bolster their ego by fabricating a fable about a romantic encounter with a pop star in the ‘90s on a flight home from New York to Dublin. Set during the dawn of the Celtic Tiger, our anti-hero reminisces about a time defined by decadence and excess as he tries to remember an echo of love in the dregs of his pint glass.”
