Glasgow's Christy O'Donnell has always had a deep emotional connection to music.
Beginning to play guitar at a teen, it seemed to unlock something inside of him, allowing him to access his emotions in a new way.
“It was like being blind and discovering colour,” he says. “When I felt bad I didn’t know how to deal with it until I found music.”
Writing his own songs, locating his own sense of expression, Christy will release his new EP shortly.
New single 'Remember Me Well' lands on May 8th, and it's a grand, alluring "wall of sound".
Dominated by that driving, surging vocal, it's the sound of someone's talent, of their message, coming into focus.
"I wanted to buildup to this beautiful wall of sound," he comments, "like I’m in a summer’s garden, like I’m sitting on the grass with all these flowers growing up around me."
"The track features a solitary violin which swells and opens into a rich musical soundscape: this trajectory from introspection to full-blown expression is something that first struck me in the music of Bon Iver, so I tried to model in on that. Let me know how you like it!"

Yesterday the U.S. Economic Development Administration announced the winners of its i6 Green Challenge grant, awarding $12 million to six regions to accelerate clean technology commercialization.
Of particular note is an energy efficiency gambit being developed in the Puget Sound region.
In that case, a portion of the $1.3 million of federal support that will now flow to Washington’s state’s Clean Energy Partnership will be dedicated towards the building out of BETI, the Building Efficiency Testing and Integration (BETI) Center and Demonstration Network. BETI is of more than passing interest to us because the testing net work was developed by a steering committee of industry experts and community stakeholders as part of the region’s metropolitan business planning effort, spearheaded by the Puget Sound Regional Council in conjunction with the Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program.
BETI will be a physical living laboratory space for innovators in the energy efficiency field to test their products, designs, and services prior to launching them into the marketplace. When built out, the concept will be an example of a U.S. metropolitan region examining its economic position, assessing needs and gaps, and moving assertively to challenge governments, philanthropists, and private sector to invest in potentially game-changing interventions.
In that sense, with the prospect of a state match and copious follow-on private investment down the road, the i6 Green win demonstrates the potential power of bottom-up intentional economic development strategies.
