Artist : Seán R McLaughlin & The Wind-Up Crows 
Single : Wishing Well
Release : 29th March 2024
Genre: Indie Rock/Alternative Folk 


Following the critical praise for The Ninewells E.P.:

“tremendous rootsy collision of Americana and folk influences” - Folk Radio 
“a testament to McLaughlin’s incredible songwriting skills” - EARMILK

Seán R. McLaughlin returns with this glorious folk-tinged indie-rock family affair - the track features award winning singer-songwriter, Lewis McLaughlin (Seán’s cousin) and is produced/mixed by their shared cousin, Andy Monaghan (Frightened Rabbit).

Wishing Well deals with the desire to disappear in a time when our lives are increasingly lived and captured online. McLaughlin sings:

…I’m wishing that I could roll my car in the sea
Throw the television off the end of the quay 
And delete all the data they collected on me
My birth, my death, and my family tree

Of the song, Seán R. McLaughlin states:

“…it started as a character song about this person who just wants to disappear, but knows it’s almost impossible these days…finding the constant sense of being observed, and the daily data capture that takes place in most of our lives, a bit overwhelming and unhealthy…

…I loved working with my cousins on this one, and the viola I played in the choruses was rescued from my grandfather’s fireplace. He was a luthier and was so unhappy with it, he tried to burn it. I saved it. It’s one of the best instruments I own and I’m so attached to it now. ”

The track comes ahead of the eagerly awaited full album, Goodnight Lad, due for release on 3rd May 2024. The record is available for pre-order in limited edition transparent blue vinyl and CD from the Wind-Up Crows Bandcamp.

British alternative folk-rock duo.

What happens when a classically-trained violinist and lo-fi folk guitarist with different tastes, playing styles and approaches to writing music try and create songs together in an attic?

Welcome to my Soundcloud Page. I am a songwriter based in St Helens, a town in the Northwest of the UK.
You will find songs in a singer-songwriterly vein, written and recorded by me, taking in a range of musical genres,  alt/indie rock songs recorded by The (Now Legendary) Maybees in the 1990s, some classical sounding music by The Lucem Symphonia, as well as banging EDM/electronic tunes by Casaubon and a few mixes of a collaboration with Bentcousin,. Unknown Unknown is another alias I have used for one release and Firenze Anemones is a new project. Most recently, I have collaborated with Massachusetts composer Betsy Breitborde on The Ghosts of Christmas Past.
Whether it's plainly a demo or a painstakingly mastered recording, I hope you enjoy what you hear. Please leave comments and don't be afraid to get in touch, I am always interested in getting feedback and connecting with other lovers of music. If you want to download anything, many of the finished recordings are available on Bandcamp and an increasing number are on all of the usual digital platforms. If you use other platforms, you can find music from me (and some others) there under the names:
