FIGR is a self-produced multi-instrumentalist from Limerick, Ireland. Having already found success with the band Hermitage Green and touring sold-out shows right across the globe including performances at some of the most iconic venues in the Middle East, Australia, North America, United Kingdom and Ireland, Darragh Griffin launched FIGR, a solo project in which he wrote, recorded and produced all the tracks. Each one features a different vocalist, creating a unique and original sound.  

Featured on the new EP is FIGR’s previous hit single ‘Long Gone’, which features Niamh Clancy. Niamh is a well-known Limerick backing vocalist. FIGR chose Niamh because her versatility, harmonizing ability and vocal talent was a perfect match for the indie-electronic vibe of Long Gone.    

‘Long Gone’ was written by FIGR after his initial debut single ‘Fear’ which featured Conor Clancy. ‘Fear’ was showcased on RTE and was even featured on the Signal Flow Spotify playlist which was created by Philip Magee.  

‘Fear’ featuring Limerick-based singer Conor Clancy who is from Waterford is also the lead vocalist of the band ‘Toucan’, one of Ireland’s most popular bands at the moment is the second track featured on the EP.  

‘Hey Hey’ featuring Ronan Mitchell is the third single featured on the EP. Ronan, who is a Limerick native also happens to be the frontman of the band Fox Jaw who have just played on Other voices, the country’s most prestigious music show. They have released multiple successful albums over the past 8 years.  

The final single which is featured on the new EP is ‘Life’ with Life ft. Alan Watts and Fiadh Griffin. Watts is an inspirational writer and speaker who is famous for his interpretation of Eastern religions. In a touching tribute, in this single FIGR or Darrah Griffin’s five-month-old daughter, Fiadh Griffin’s heartbeat is sampled throughout this track.
