The track is from the Irish band’s incredible new debut album Murmurations
With the release of their brand new highly anticipated debut album Murmurations, Irish indie rock outfit Under Starling look to have cemented themselves as one of the regions most expansive and dynamic bands right now, armed with a sound that feels as important and vital as the themes and messages that they explore in unapologetic nature through their narratives.
One of the tracks with such a narrative is the hard-hitting ‘The Hunger’, a track about the Irish famine and the suffering inflicted by colonisers during this period. The track sees the band tap into a relentless heaviness that they have never even really approached before, and the blistering alternative rock edge of the track does a really great job of hammering home the importance of the message and leaving a searing and memorable impact on you as a listener. At CLOUT, we have already lauded tracks like ‘Changeling’ and ‘Selkie’, and this track continues to expand upon and push the boundaries of their sound, showcasing the vast potential and daring capabilities that the band possess, and giving you all the more reason to check out the new LP as a whole, a release that looks likely to be a late addition to the standouts of 2024.
