With his new album, 'Joy Of Nothing' set to be released on 26 August, Irish singer-songwriter Foy Vance has unveiled the video for new single, Closed Hand, Full Of Friends shot at Bushmills Distillery in Northern Ireland.
Foy Vance hails from the seaside town of Bangor in Northern Ireland. As a child, Foy relocated with his father, a preacher, to the American Midwest, settling in Oklahoma. Returning to Ireland some years later, Foy began writing his own music, deeply shaped by the sounds of his youth. After a recent session with Daytrotter, they described Foy’s songs and lyrics: “They will haunt you with light. They'll haunt you with pangs of love. They'll haunt you with the tears of others. They'll make you realise that you've never felt anything even as remotely deep as he has.”
Foy is currently in the studio finishing 'Joy of Nothing' on Glassnote Records. Pre-order the album here.
