Enda Gallery Shares Stunning New EP ‘Liberation’
‘Liberation’ is the new EP by Irish artist Enda Gallery, a record of stunning intensity, beauty, and potency. It is a musical recollection of a journey undertaken by a skilful songwriter.
When Enda released his debut album ‘The Journey to Zero’ in April 2020, the Irish artist had already collaborated with the likes of Kid Simius, Dead Rabbit, Nobody’s Face and written/produced for Tolü Makay, Wilzee and Strange Boy. His history of producing and enabling these unconventional artists across many genres have gifted him the thoughtful capability to mix his skills, self-determination, and empathy with a mastery of his own presence inside of a song. This combination results in his ‘Liberation’ EP, which is a truly sincere and compassionate collection of songs filled with vigour and lushness.
On ‘Old Fashioned’, we are treated to the euphoric essence of Berlin – rapturous, blissful, and emotionally delicate all in the same breath. Enda Gallery sings over a pulsing clubland style piano loop “In the city of hoping, in the city of the fear/ In the city of floating, you make me want to be Old Fashioned”. It’s a love song to everything Enda Gallery has found in his secondary home in the German capital.
Enda Gallery is an artist with a real purpose, and that is to create beautiful and liberating art. He takes influence from genre-defying artists such as Frank Ocean and Prince – mixed with the deep sincerity of Sufjan Stevens, Alicia Keys and even Freddie Mercury. Through this sense of creative deliverance, we hear his truest realisations and experiences with songs such as ‘Super Raw’ and ‘This Is That Moment’. Marinated in flavours of soul, hip hop, techno, and gospel we are left with songs which peel back the layers of self-incrimination and personal disenfranchisement. The highly danceable title track ‘I Want Liberation’ is exemplary in showcasing Enda Gallery’s finesse for uplifting and gracious pop songs.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
