Fionn Regan returns on 1st November via Nettwerk Music Group with his much-anticipated new album, O Avalanche. Today, he shares his latest single, ‘Blood Is Thicker Than Wine,’ accompanied by a visualiser that he created and directed. The hallucinatory quality of his late-night storm walk that he talks of below is accentuated both by the visualiser’s abstract feel and the punctuating guitar line that provides a hypnotic, off-kilter rhythm throughout.
Commenting on the track, Regan says: “I started to write the song in a lightning storm. The sky was lighting up in a way I’d never seen over the Tramuntana mountains and along the coastal beaches. It had a hallucinatory quality, and I walked all night in the storm and wrote the lyrics. Songs are mysterious but I think this song is about a couple, the last ones awake, the last ones on the planet, walking home in a lightning storm, it’s maybe also a song about the end and beginnings of things, the romance and excitement heightened by the elements and the reflection on something that was magic but fleeting.”
O Avalanche was co-produced with Ian Grimble. “It’s like you’re looking into this world where there’s a depth of field, it’s summer, and you’re floating into and out of it,” Regan says of the album. “The songs can come together in the moment, so it’s not a conscious thing, but when I listen to the record it feels like there’s an eternal optimism about it – a kind of upward-feeling energy.”
