rish singer-songwriter Ger Eaton shares 'I Thought I'd A Friend', an enchanting track that highlights his debut album 'Season Changes', recently released via Peckham-based label Dimple Discs. With a rich progression from baroque pop and cinematic balladry to more folk elements, Eaton creates music that is laced with broad orchestral arrangements, drama, and honesty.

Accompanied by an endearing video by Damien Hickey and beautiful string arrangements, 'I Thought I'd A Friend' is the latest in a string of singles that include 'Season Changes', 'Hollow' and 'The Time It Takes To Fall', and recently-released live rendition of 'Phoenix (Reborn)' and 'Season Changes', recorded live at Hyde Dublin.  

A singer and sonic auteur with flair for Renaissance Pop, Ger Eaton is well known in his native homeland as a performer, his distinctive keyboards having graced many Irish bands of the last two decades. These songs carry echoes of Scott Walker, Jimmy Webb, Brian Wilson, Ian Brown and the high melodic heyday of the late 1960s, yet shot through with a contemporary slant and edge.  

"‘Season Changes’ is essentially an old fashioned break-up LP. All of the songs deal with the complexities, both emotional and physical, that come with the ending of a very long and significant relationship. Mirroring the seasons, ‘Season Changes’ charts the often inevitable decay of a relationship, from the glowing bloom of its Spring, gradually ebbing away to its wintery conclusion," says Ger Eaton.

"The songs were written about and recorded during the end of  my marriage, and I decided from the off that the Lyrics would be raw and honest… I felt I owed that much to myself. Musically, I wanted the arrangements and instrumentation to bring a lushness and drama that would wrap the words in the appropriate Musical Cloak ...For me, music has always been a place where I can both lose and find myself… a Solice … my Phoenix."

Each new song and accompanying video from Ger Easton has marked an exciting stage in his progress, for which he has received recognition and tremendous support from music writers and radio programmers in Ireland and the UK, and now in America and further abroad.

The 'Season Changes' album is out now on vinyl and CD, and is also available from digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and also Bandcamp. 

“A beautiful slice of Scott Walker-esque pop” 
~ Mike Scott (The Waterboys)

“There’s a richness here that instantly brings to mind legends like Scott Walker or Nick Drake, but it never feels like a throwback" 
~ Myth of Rock

"Fairly breathtaking listen... An opus that i`m sure was cleansing and cathartic in the making and should become a classic"
~ Maximum Volume Music
