Darling Arithmetic is a follow-up to Conor O’Brien’s debut, Becoming a Jackal, and its successor, Awayland - both Mercury-nominated.
Darling Arithmetic – an album about love and relationships - was written, recorded, produced and mixed by O’Brien at home in the loft of a converted farmhouse in Malahide.
‘Courage’ is the first single and you can hear the first radio play of it on the Paul McLoone Show tonight!
