Little Fireworks are haunted by a lost love in their new single and lyric video Like Ghosts — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
The lead single from the U.K. pop duo’s upcoming debut EP Where Did The Light Go?, Like Ghosts explores all the areas of the breakup cycle, beginning with grief and ending in a sigh of relief. Balancing soft, heartbreaking verses against a huge anthemic chorus, Little Fireworks give you a song that makes you want to close your eyes and immerse yourself in deep emotionalism.
Little Fireworks are Scott Viney and Pierce Kavanagh, two lifelong friends from London who have been writing music together — in different projects and across various roles — for more than seven years. Like many artists, the pandemic played a huge part in the demise of their previous project. Pierce went on as a solo artist under the name kav, while Scott focused his efforts becoming a full-time session musician. But they missed making music together. Enter Little Fireworks: A new musical tour de force.
How would you describe their sound? You could correctly tag them as sad boys, but that would do them a great injustice. Although their music may seem sombre, hope is a constant, universal theme in their work, providing a much-needed flicker of light when all else is dark — aka a little firework.
Influenced by Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, The National and more, the duo share relatable emotions, expertly woven around heart-wrenching harmonies in an alchemic mix of loud and quiet. Their thought-provoking songs delve into heartbreak (although not always from the viewpoint of the wounded), mental health and our unpredictable and turbulent world. With their epic crescendos, honest sentiments and hair-raising melodies, they entrance audiences — both in their studio output and at their live gigs.
Due April 12, the four songs of Where Did The Light Go? will find Little Fireworks working to reignite the hope that’s very much needed in these trying times. If you happen to be in London on April 11, let them prove it to you at their EP launch at the Strongroom Bar in Shoreditch.
