‘Sweet Side of Love’ Single Release 02.07.2020

 Michael McCartney announces the follow up to his Debut EP with the title track to his second EP ‘Sweet Side Of Love’ as the first offering.

Returning for the self-produced second EP are collaborators Ian Peres (Ruel, Boo Seeka), with shared the mix duties from Oscar Dawson (Holy Holy), Konstantin Kersting (Mallrat, Tones & I) and Mitch Finglas who mixed 'Too Long' - McCartney's debut single that's enjoyed Double J Rotation since it's release in April.

Title track ‘Sweet Side Of Love’ is a four-to-the-floor indie-rock belter about celebrating the intimacy & safety of shared love between people.

McCartney writes of the tracks energy "It’s an aggressive song musically, which for me was ‘a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down’ kind of idea. By itself, the sentiment is naff, but the contrast works. Much like love itself, it’s the hard times that make the Sweet Side Of Love stand out."

Speaking on the songs incarnation, McCartney adds "I wrote ‘Sweet Side of Love’ out of a drum sampling session at Love Street Studios with Mitch Finglas (multi-instrumentalist and producer). We weren’t trying to write a song, but we’d formed this drum loop that I couldn’t help play a riff I’d been working on, which together was a big vibe. So the session changed tack and we had the bones tracked within a few hours. It’s more loop based than anything I’d done, but the exploration happened naturally."

‘Sweet Side of Love’ is out everywhere July 2nd, with the EP available in full on August 27th.
