The perfect soundtrack to a night of prolonged procrastination and playfulness, “Shark Eyes” shimmers its way through four and a half stunning minutes like a long lost modern day cousin to There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
It rolls out smoothly, delivering moments of well-paced drama. We’ve got a yearning beneath the light melody. We’ve got the lilting pop lyrical performance of Sorcha Richardson’s (wiki link) vocals.
Opening with nearly delicate synths, Dublin-based Indie rock singer-songwriter Sorcha Richardson’s “Shark Eyes” is a song that gradually unfurls before you. Drums enter the picture, all before things come to a true crash for the chorus, managing to create an increased sense of pressure along with a musical backdrop that only becomes more complex and playful at once.

Shark Eyes alert to a predator at play. They’ve seen you and the game is already underway. You are going to dance the dance of all of nature and get caught or get away. Whatever happens, you are changed by the encounter.
Making your move feels empowering. Then comes the part where you get what you want — and are tasked with reinventing the pursuit.
It’s been decades since the longing warbles of Morrissey first took us through a dark night of chances not taken. Now, Richardson has a different trip in mind. She’s got those eyes. She’s making all the rules.
The light shines on.
Three years on since the release of her debut ‘First Prize Bravery’, Sorcha Richardson has announced that her second album ‘Smiling Like An Idiot’ on 23rd September via Faction (vinyl link.)
Speaking on the new album, Sorcha says, “It’s about falling in love with a person and a place, which in this case is Dublin, and how those two are interlinked.
