Big Love Share New Single And Video “Never Enough”

Today, fast-rising Dublin six-piece BIG LOVE return with their much anticipated new single “Never Enough”. The track comes on the heels of their recent single “Is It Over Yet?”, which saw the band earn widespread plaudits including landing on the cover of The Line Of Best Fit’s New Music Discovery playlist as well as garnering support from DIY, Rough Trade, and more.

Recorded in London with the help of producer Matt Glasbey (Alt-J, Sorry, Bloc Party), “Never Enough” perfectly exemplifies why the band have been on such an incendiary rise and sees them continue to deliver on all their early promise. Combining ruminative guitar and piano lines with fervent, danceable drumming and anthemic vocals, the track slowly builds wistful atmospherics around the repeated lyrics “I was never enough” until the instrumentation breaks out into an almost post-rock inflected climax.

Speaking on the track, lead vocalist Cian Ó’Maonlaí says: “The song is about being saved. When a light comes into life to take you from the dark—something so beautiful, so true—that you feel unworthy. Love is medicine, and in writing this song, I wanted to express how fortunate I feel to be in receipt of the light that shone in for me.”

BIG LOVE – made up of Cian Ó’Maonlaí (lead vocals), Jack Cody (guitar/vocals), Megan Nic Ruairí (vocals, keys/synth), Dan Aherne (bass), Anton Shovlin (drums), and Adam Curtis (lead guitar) – have been gathering significant momentum having been tipped by the likes of Hot Press in their Hot for 2024, Whelan’s Ones To Watch, and RTÉ Recommends, for their widescreen indie-pop inflected alt-rock live sound. Having sold-out numerous early headline shows around Dublin at staple venues such as The Workman’s Club and The Grand Social, as well as playing major festivals such as Electric Picnic and Other Voices, the band will make their first headline appearance in London at Old Blue Last on 19th October.

With more live dates and new music penned for 2024, the new single stands as a statement of intent for BIG LOVE. For fans, “Never Enough” will mark yet another leap forwards for the band, further proving their thirst for more – both sonically and as artists. For those that have yet to hear them, there’s no better time to get on board.
