“All The Lives is about growing up and watching people join the real world and feeling out of touch with that\u201d\u00a0explains lead singer and songwriter Cian \u00d3\u2019Maonla\u00ed.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s about the heartbreak of drifting from someone and seeing them change but beneath it all I think it\u2019s about the fear of being alone\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0\u2019Dancing & Loving\u2019\u00a0EP brings together\u00a0BOLD LOVE\u2019s most defining songs to date, from the moving reflection of\u00a0\u2018Feel You Close\u2019, the heartfelt Irish homage\u00a0\u2018I\u2019m Home\u2019,\u00a0to the infectious, angular guitars of today\u2019s lead single \u2018All The Lives\u2019. Produced by Richie Kennedy (Interpol, Celeste, White Lies), the collection showcases the band\u2019s richly layered sound and emotional depth, capturing the widescreen ambition and intimacy that define their music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about youth, love, death and a sense of place and belonging\u201d,\u00a0said \u00d3\u2019Maonla\u00ed.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a reflection on navigating life up until now.\u00a0This EP is our way of trying to deal with things. Life is mad and we\u2019re just Dancing & Loving our way through it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour cultural landscape and political climate will always shape the art you make\u201d,\u00a0added guitarist Jack Cody.\u00a0\u201cWhether you’re looking inwards or casting your gaze further afield for inspiration and writing material. A lot of Cian’s lyrics are introspective but set against the wider context of the place we grew up in and what’s expected of you. We’re trying to do the same with our music as well, and not be boxed into any one sound\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
