Good Friday launch for Laois based indie band Lost Messiahs new single and video, 'Brownsfield'

Portlaoise alternative-indie band The Lost Messiahs have released their new single and video, “Brownsfield.”

Released ahead of their third full- length studio album, the song was recorded and produced by Ollie Plunkett at Golden Egg Studios Portlaoise , mixed by the legendary  producer Chris O’Brien, The Production Suite and mastered by Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone, Sterling Sound, New York.

The song was written about a field called Brownsfield located across from Ollie’s childhood home. Though just an ordinary field, this blank landscape offered a young adolescent a canvas to create an imaginary world. Everyone has their own Brownsfield, their escape from the ordinary into the extraordinary. 

The song is accompanied by a music video which depicts the journey from childhood to adulthood, paralleled with a spiritual journey towards enlightenment. Subtle and sudden changes in shade create different moods, and the video moves in and out of these themes, from the present back to the past.

The band are embarking on an Irish tour to support the release and dates include Crane Lane Theatre, Cork on Wednesday 5th April followed by a gig in their hometown, Aunty Nora’s (behind Peig’s Bar) on Easter Sunday Night. The Messiahs have only played Portlaoise on three occasions with the last being in the Dunamaise Arts Centre in 2021. The band  are really looking forward to playing the beautiful new Aunty Nora’s venue in Portlaoise which will have its official opening on Easter Sunday Night. 

The Band are already confirmed to play Electric Picnic 2023 and for anyone who attended their amazing incendiary performance to a packed Mindfield Tent at the Electric Picnic last year  you will know what to expect Easter Sunday Night. Highly recommend that you  get your ticket early to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available from the band’s website www.thelostmessiahs.com

The new single, “Brownsfield" features radiant guitars and haunting vocals to create an ethereal soundscape. Though wistful, it drives steadily towards an anthemic climax.
