The Neon Sea 'As I Wonder'

Do you ever hear a song and immediately know it’s going to be stuck in your head for weeks? That’s ‘As I Wonder’, the hypnotic debut single from Dublin’s The Neon Sea. Equal parts shoegaze daydream and post-punk adrenaline, it’s the sonic equivalent of a rainstorm breaking into sunlight—epic, emotive, and unforgettable.

Tom Doyle’s songwriting is introspective but never self-indulgent, and the production by Dave Flood adds layers of richness that demand a second (and third, and fourth) listen. By the time the guitars swell into the anthemic crescendo, you’ll be throwing your head back and shouting the lyrics at the sky—whether or not you know them yet.

The Neon Sea doesn’t just draw from the greats; they channel them. There’s the introspection of The Cure, the raw edge of Nirvana, and the unrelenting energy of The Stone Roses. Toss in artwork crafted by Doyle’s young son, and this release isn’t just music—it’s an experience. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it.
