A. Smyth - Hello Goliath (2025)

Atmospheric and Eloquent Folk-Pop, Enriched with Layered Arrangements. Dublin-born, Smyth was listed by the Irish times in 2020 among its ten acts to follow list and also the RMHQ year end Top 20 albums too. Smyth’s new album, Hello Goliath opens with Can’t Stop The Rain; a pressing rhythm featuring electric keyboards to go with driving drums, harmony vocals as Smyth offers a surprisingly more pop than Folk-Pop arrangement than on his last album. There’s a neat use of keyboards though as the hooky melody bustles along while a Summery feel rears.
