Aodhan – Sounds of Oz

Joe Mungovan and Aodhan have teamed up for a cool new single “Old Dog/New Tricks.” I’ve written about how much both artists have impressed me in the past, so you can bet this is right up my alley. I’m sure you’re going to love it every bit as much.

“This song is about our bad days and the struggles we face when going about our day-to-day routines,” Aodhan explained.

“Old Dog/New Tricks is a song for anyone who has ever struggled with even the simplest of daily tasks and the monotony of life,” Joe added.

If you love hearing Joe and Aodhan together, you’re in luck. These talented artists will play the following shows together in the coming months.

He’s still a teenager, but Aodhan is already feeling nostalgic for his youth. The winner of JJJ’s Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative, the talented 16-year-old from Dharawal country recalls those good old days with his new single “Twelve Again.”

“Twelve Again is a song the reminisces on the carefree days of being a twelve year old. The song mentions things about me missing the best friends I ever had, acting careless and fracturing a bone for the first time, just all sorts of things having to do with that time of my life. Although it may have not been too long ago, I do really miss it,” Aodhan admits.

Aodhan recorded the track at Sydney’s Hercules St Studio. It was the first time he’s ever worked in a studio, but he seems to have taken to it like a duck to water. He plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitars and synths on the track, as well as handling the vocals like a champ.

“I had a really good time making it,” he said. “This was the first time I got to make some music in an actual studio so it was pretty awesome to have access to a range of amps and instruments I could just mess around with as well as an awesome producer [Ryan Miller] and an awesome drummer [Grant Garethy] to throw ideas around.”

He’s at such an early stage in his career, but already the future looks pretty bright for Aodhan.
