August Wells – She Was a Question
August Wells return to Irish airwaves ahead of their biggest tour to date, kicking off with the release of ‘She Was a Question’ and their appearance at the Interlude Festival on Friday June 24.
Ken Griffin and John Rauchenberger’s melancholic odes have struck a chord with music listeners here with a string of singles that has also seen them received warmly by critics and music shows across the dial. By turns writing music that speaks of the fragility of the human condition while all the while providing an uplifting swing and groove, August Wells are building nicely towards an imminent album and a summer of content.
‘She Was a Question’ is as much as curiosity as the title suggests, melding some ethereal keys and strings, with a tranquil bass line supplied by New York-based Corkonian, Graham Finn, and peppered with a soft sounding flugel horn. August Wells continue to release poignant singles that defy the transparency of much of today’s vacuous fare, leading the listener on all-to-brief vignettes that provide something of a welcome break from the norm.
