Irish Band JaVill Release New Song 'Water'

JaVill are a Dublin based band making waves in their home country of Ireland, but are soon to jump across the pond into the UK and mainland Europe. Water is another step in the right direction for the five-piece rock band.

Water - which sees the group continue to showcase their versatility while retaining the soaring guitar sound and driving rhythms of their previous releases Monsoon and Lifted.

The track opens with a delicate piano melody that builds and gathers momentum as the splashy, rolling drums, thrumming baseline and waves of effervescent guitar and backing vocals bring it to a cathartic crescendo. Recorded late last year at Hellfire Studios in Rathfarnham, Dublin, Water was engineered by Joe McGrath and produced by Kevin Brennan. The high-level production does not hold back as the song builds layer upon layer on the way to its emotional climax.

The song is partly inspired by lead singer Baz’s own battle with addiction and times spent in rehab, when he felt like he had reached a breaking point. Water is a record of the kind of spiritual experience that led him out of that dark place. The lyrics sound like the kind of promise you might make to yourself when facing an abyss, the voice we all hope would be there if we ever felt there was no way out.

Listeners will no doubt detect a strong Radiohead influence on Water, with hints of Interpol and The National but JaVill have already marked themselves out as a band with a unique style and range.
