Following up on the success of his two recently released singles 'Al Bundy' and 'Thoughts' which were both added to huge Spotify editorial playlists such as New Music Friday, Our Generation and Peach - Local Boy returns with his sophomore EP Local Boy Helps Himself. 

The EP is the culmination of lessons learned along Local Boy's career thus far with tracks touching on bedroom pop, hip-hop and indie rock all filtered through the Irish producer's singular sonic sensibility. 

Delivering a message through his danceable and uplifting sound, several tracks on the EP center around a critique of the toxic positivity culture that can taint online self-help communities and make us feel guilty for our negative emotions. 

"I really wanted to get a cohesive message across with this body of work while still retaining the playful energy of my earlier releases," says Local Boy 

"Since the pandemic has began so many of us have turned to online self help outlets to try weather the storm we've found ourselves in, and so much of that content serves no purpose other than to uphold the neoliberal orthodoxy that our pain is a personal failing and not indicative of wider problems in society." 

"I'm a huge fan of the writing of the late Mark Fisher who tackled a lot of these issues in his literature and I wanted to wrap these ideas up in a danceable, bedroom-pop package."

Bedroom Pop 2021

Они продали Луну

Same Old

The sky’s been falling ever since day 1
Ever since we first laid eyes upon the setting sun
Ever since consciousness was passed from mind to tongue
Ever since the day we became what we’ve become

Ever since Eve was roaming round in Eden
Back when knowledge looked like apple flavoured freedom
To grow the mind
To reap the fruit
To raise the ceiling
And so began the chain of ritual feeding

After that first moment of our origin
Spent a few thousand years
Killing and stealing for religion
Till after centuries and centuries of poor decisions
We settle down with our new God
We call consumerism

It’s a long long con
And it works so well
The less we need
The more we feed
The further we get from ourselves
The shit we buy
The drugs we take
The lies we tell
Well I don’t wanna tell them anymore

Keep wondering how long I should give it
Before I set fire to this sinking ship and go down with it
The parasite keeps feasting quick somebody kill it
Let’s nip this in the bud before it gets too vivid


Now don’t get me wrong you know
I quite enjoy
The poetry in how we just create then destroy
But this game like all games must end at some point
And I don’t feel like losing anymore

Is everybody crazy or is it just me
Wanna take one of those blue pills and go back to sleep
Shake me out of this bad dream
‘Cause I don’t wanna be here anymore

Waiting for the world to end
I’ve had enough I can’t pretend
Im just waiting for the world to end
Im good to go
Just tell me when

But did you see the sky last night
Peeling gold from pink in fading light
And all the cars stopped
And together we watched time slide by
So human in devotion, we were mystified

Last week
I fell in love for the hundredth time
He held his heart in the browns of his eyes
And we danced like we were ready to collide
And in the morning with tangled limbs and tired smiles
We waited for the world to end

This year, I set a very intentional goal to amplify joy, to create music that heals, that transports you to a different time and place. Not for escapism but as a reminder that we have the power to impact the world while prioritizing our joy and our own personal wellness. 

I will be releasing a series of Sun Sonata singles, Tightrope being the first of many to come.  So get funky, get ya threads in order, and hit the groove on down.

I wrote The Walls Are Way Too Thin about a time in my life where I felt like i’d lost control of where I was heading and struggling a little with finding my place in the world. It was a very strange period, I’d just moved to London away from my family and all of a sudden everything that I knew to be normal had changed completely. I moved on a whim into this little dingy room. I met some cool people but this place was pretty lonely and claustrophobic. I’m such an awkward person and even though I really liked my housemates I still felt worried about small talk in the kitchen or passing each other in the corridors. I had some fun times there, but I felt like I was mostly confined to my room whilst chaos was going on in the flats or streets around us. To avoid confronting how I was feeling I’d sneak out of the flat and go on train journeys to see my mates, get drunk, then come back hungover through the night or morning. I wrote most of Walls and the songs that come next on those trains. It was my place of therapy, in the middle of nowhere.

I wanted the music video to reflect how I felt stuck in my room with my own internal anxiety rising. The idea of being trapped in an air vent in a burning building came from that feeling of claustrophobia and panic that I felt throughout my time living in the flat. Shooting the video was chaotic, my elbows and knees look quite different now after 8 hours of crawling back and forth. The fire blast in the vent was totally real too !!

Bad keeps getting worse,
keeps getting worse
Bad keeps getting worse,
keeps getting bad bad

Bad keeps getting worse
And the sense of death and grief, I can feel it
And I’ve found that agency is not for me, 
but I’ll get up and get on with it

Bad keeps getting worse
And the worst is yet to come
Oh my
I can feel it in my bones
I’ve been feeling it for a little while
And now it’s just a little closer

(It’s been calling my name
Following me dangerously even in my sleep)

Bad keeps getting worse
And the worst is yet to come
Oh why
Just a little closer

Bad keeps getting worse
And i wish that you’d shut up
But you’re not too keen on obedience
And It’s inconvenient that your truth 
happens to taste like the end of me
You’re the enemy

And all of these machinations make no sense to me
The world’s pulled from underneath my feet and suddenly
Everything’s out of reach

Bad keeps getting worse
And the worst is yet to come
Oh my
I can feel it in my bones
I’ve been feeling it for a little while
And now it’s just a little closer

It’s been 
Calling my name
Following me
Even in my sleep

Bad keeps getting worse
And the worst is yet to come
Oh why
It’s just a little closer

Squidgenini - All Made Up

Lyrics:
I’m up late at night
Thinking bout the weather

Cool breeze underneath
When we get together

I'm down all alone
Trying to forget you

Tempted to grab the phone
But you won’t make it better

Two words for you and three for me:
Fuck you, Cus I love me
[x2]

Turn on, turn it off
I'm so fed up with fishing
Too late to emulate
The love I could have given

Hear me, hear me now:
I want u to remember
How sad but how dignified
This is coming to an ending
Two words for you and three for me:
Fuck you, Cus I love me
[x2]
