"Really Good Time's Debut Album 'Affirmations' Out Now"
Dublin-based trio Really Good Time has just released their much-anticipated debut album, titled Affirmations. This album represents a significant milestone for the band, who have spent over four years honing their craft and evolving their sound. The record features a collection of previously released singles, such as “Shit One” and “Do It,” alongside fresh material, showcasing the band’s growth and artistic ambition.
In Affirmations, Really Good Time explores themes of disillusionment and resilience, drawing listeners in with their unique blend of black humor and poignant observations about the world. The band acknowledges a shared sense of unease with current events, noting that the album’s inspiration stemmed from a feeling of “doomsday thinking.” However, the writing and recording process became a deeply affirming experience, allowing them to connect with each other and channel positivity into their music.
The trio expresses gratitude for the journey that led to this release, stating that their music aims to reject nihilism and encourage listeners to recognize the good in life, even amid chaos. Reflecting on their experiences, they invite fans to not only listen to their album but to engage with their emotions, embrace their friends, and even vent frustrations in a healthy way.
The lead singles leading up to the album’s release have displayed the band’s dynamic range, highlighting the dark comedy of “Do It,” the absurdity of “Bob Dylan Was On Pawn Stars in 2010,” and the heartfelt tones of “The Love Song,” the latter featuring the vocal talents of bassist Jacque le Coque. This diverse array of songs exemplifies their artistic versatility and sonic depth.
Affirmations comes on the heels of a busy year for Really Good Time, who have been making a name for themselves on the live circuit. They’ve participated in prominent festivals like The Great Escape and SXSW, sharing stages with notable acts such as Franz Ferdinand and The Murder Capital. Following the album’s release, fans can look forward to a series of instore performances and concerts, including an upcoming show at Dublin’s Collins Barracks.
As they embark on a UK and EU tour, Really Good Time continues to gain traction and receive praise from various music platforms.
