On February 3rd, Cian Godfrey who records and performs as Somebody’s Child will release his debut self-titled album via Frenchkiss Records. I first heard Somebody’s Child track “Jungle” on Long Way Up series and the song really stood out. That song and more will be finally made into a full-length album. Cian shared a new single today, which you can stream on those sites and watch the video below. He will also be playing in the US this March including at Mercury Lounge on March 22nd in NYC.

You can pre-order the album here.

The video was shot in Godfrey’s home-country of Ireland and he shares:

“Drift culture (a motorsport) is a big thing in Ireland and when the director came to me with the idea I immediately thought it was cool as some of my friends are big into it. We didn’t want an emotional video but something fun and energetic, while also shining light on an Irish subculture that goes a little unnoticed. It was a lot of fun.”
