Accompanying the announcement of her second studio album “Everybody Needs A Hero”, “The Hit” is a delicate yet intoxicating piece of indie rock. Orla Gartland finds herself so intertwined with her best friend that it feels supernatural: “It’s some kinda magic / Some voodoo doll shit / You get the cut and I feel the sting” she sings in communion with pulsating drums and a lush acoustic guitar. The confessional nature of Gartland’s songwriting feels extra conversational here, and, subsequently, uniquely authentic. “The Hit” is yet another indication that Gartland is presently at the top of her game.
Once again I am incredibly proud to be releasing this album via my own label, New Friends as an independent artist every risk you take is a trust fall back into your audience and man do I love you all for catching me every time
