Funk-Infused Track Channels the Spirit of Deirdre of the Sorrows

Carlow, Ireland

On June 7, 2024, Hawk Jupiter, the Irish music producer hailed for his genre-blending sound, has released his latest single, “Dodging Arrows.” This energetic, funk-infused dance track features the lush vocals of Galway’s Lauren Davis and reimagines the ancient Irish myth of Deirdre of the Sorrows in a modern, musical context.

A Fresh Take on a Timeless Tale

“Deirdre of the Sorrows,” a story of love, betrayal, and self-determination, has been a staple of Irish folklore for generations. Now, for the first time, this tragic tale is being brought to life through an eclectic fusion of old-school house beats, disco rhythms, and experimental electronic breakdowns. Hawk Jupiter, alongside lyricist Helen Agnes D., channels the essence of this myth, setting it to a backdrop of soaring synths, intricate brass sections, and pulsating basslines.

The track’s energetic drums and intricate interweaving of brass and synths create a dark, volatile atmosphere that mirrors the chaos and turbulence of Deirdre’s story. Lauren Davis’ haunting vocals convey the emotion and resilience of Deirdre, capturing the essence of her struggle against persecution and her relentless pursuit of freedom.

The Musical Journey

“Freedom is ours, we’ve done nothing to deserve this,” sings Lauren, as she encapsulates the spirit of resistance and self-determination central to the myth. The song’s dramatic and unexpected peaks, propelled by a frenzied brass section, reflect the tumultuous nature of Deirdre’s journey, making it a compelling listen for both fans of dance music and those familiar with Irish folklore.

Previous Collaborations and Inspirations

“Dodging Arrows” marks the second collaboration between Hawk Jupiter and Lauren Davis, following their 2023 single “Land Beneath Waves,” which was inspired by another Irish mythological tale, Tír na nÓg. Hawk Jupiter, drawing inspiration from artists like The Chemical Brothers, continues to evolve his sound, joyfully channeling early house while spanning genres such as jazz-funk, breakbeat, pop, and hip-hop.

Upcoming Music Video

In addition to the single, a music video for “Dodging Arrows” is set to be released on June 14, 2024. Shot in Ireland with a full cast and crew, the video offers a modern reimagining of the myth of Deirdre of the Sorrows, bringing a visual dimension to the story’s themes of love, betrayal, and resistance.
