Make Me Feel (Believing) (feat. 0phelia, Breezy Ideygoke, King Koko, JusMe)

We were invited to record two songs in Dolans, Limerick for Live95 FM as part of Irish Music Month's Local Hero competition.

Although we didn't get through to the final round, we had a lovely time playing original music again on a stage after soooo long (even if there was no crowd there to listen). Thanks for having us!

We played Good Things and When It All Runs Out. I played acoustic guitar and sang, Dennis was using brushsticks on the kit, Graham had the upright bass, and Steve Hanks joined us on tenor and soprano saxophone. Hope you enjoy these versions, and we'll see you on stage hopefully sooner rather than later.

Believing single feat. Grainne McCarthy (La Gracia). 

2nd single from forthcoming album The Lookout. Funky riffs, positive lyrics and a distorted flute solo! This song is about the renewed optimism and almost spiritual belief in love, life and humanity that a new relationship can bring, particularly after a negative experience.

Time the Healer feat. Fehdah & Zaska (Radio Edit)

Mr Myth:

"​When I initially heard the record I was taken aback by how rich it sounded sonically and really wanted to dig into the individual stems to hear each instrument in its solo form. Danny sent them over and I was not disappointed - far from it! So instead of doing the usual affair of possibly upping the BPM and trying to flip the song into a more "late-night-dancefloor" friendly record, I dissected the track and used only the stems to rework it into an 8 minute journey in a similar fashion to what Francois Kevorkian did with "This Charming Man" by The Smiths or what The Reflex does with classic soul and funk songs. The finished product showcases some of the instruments in more sparse environments than in the original version. Those lush lead vocals, the bouncy Rhodes, that funky bridge bassline...they're all stripped back for you to enjoy on this rollercoaster of a rework!"

Mr Myth (aka Graham) is a seasoned disc spinner who you can catch both both on air and at your local discotheque.

The presenter of an alternative music show on RTÉ 2XM every Thursday, Graham produced a documentary series about sampling called “Scratching The Surface” for RTÉ Pulse, regularly covers for Dan Hegarty on RTÉ 2FM and has on-air chats with the likes of Jungle, Courtney Barnett. As an in demand live DJ and as part of Dublin Record Club and Swim Kollektiv you can catch Graham spinning records at a bar, club or festival near you. With no restriction on genre but always an ear to the feet on the dancefloor you can expect an eclectic set of records that will keep your toes tapping!

Time the Healer (Mr Myth ReWork) [feat. Fehdah & Zaska]

Here's a song I recorded at home a few years ago. The context was a bit different to the current #stayathome movement. It was a more romantic idea, that we don't need to go out to have a good time. We can enjoy each other's company, make our own good time at home. Rosa was introducing me to reggae music and (I think) it was before we had kids. Hence going out was still a viable option, lmao.

This is as good a time as any to share, in the spirit of these crazy times. I hope you're all staying at home and saying safe. Social distancing is the best possible thing we can do right now to keep each other alive. Tell your friends and family.

Stay at Home (demo)

'D.A.R.L.I.N.G.' single feat. Tolü Makay & Jamel Franklin (Shy Mascot). Digital release on July 31st, 2020 (https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/dannygandthemajor7ths/darling-feat-tol-makay--jamel-franklin). All proceeds on Bandcamp (Pay what you like) go to MASI - https://www.masi.ie/.

D.A.R.L.I.N.G. evokes the complex feelings of love and longing that are both strained and strengthened by distance. This song was written and recorded in isolation. Danny: "The genesis of this collaboration came from my group playing gigs with both Jamel (Shy Mascot) and Tolü, I was already a huge fan of both artists. I had the song's chorus and beat - it gave me an early 2000's Neosoul vibe. Tolü and Jamel wrote their verses, the Major 7ths added their parts and the song came together really organically."

Video to be released one week before, on July 24th.

‘When It All Runs Out’ is the 4th single from forthcoming album ‘The Lookout’, due for release on 08/01/2021. From Danny:

“This song was inspired by visiting Venezuela. It was written as a warning for all of us, but especially world leaders who go to war over resources. The earth’s resources are finite, and need to be shared equally among its citizens for us to have any chance of peace.”
