Irish duo T.A. Narrative is formed by childhood friends Tara Nix and Anna Murphy, who together draw on styles including post punk, electronic and pop music to bring to life their shared sonic vision. Hailing from Limerick, Ireland, they have a long history of collaboration from their time in Irish punk bands as well as venturing to the USA for recording and touring.
Their musical synergy, forged over years of friendship, has led to the creation of T.A. Narrative, a project that’s been making an impact with its high-energy sound and visually enthralling live performances. Having formed the new endeavour in lockdown, the duo unveiled their original sound in 2020 with their debut single, “Playful Resister.” Despite the challenges of launching a new project in such a restricted time, T.A. Narrative quickly captured attention with their fresh, genre-blurring sound.
In 2023, their debut EP Retro Futurism, confirmed their status as one of Ireland’s most exciting new acts while their live shows have become thrilling spectacles. Following the success of performances on the main stage of this year’s Beyond The Pale festival and a raucous set at All Together Now in Waterford, the duo has proven their flair on the live circuit.
Now, coming off the back of their recent track, “Caught Out,” the duo returns with their latest single, “SWAY.” Produced by Limerick-based producer Chris Kirby, “SWAY” presents a fusion of pop, rock, funk, disco and electronic elements, resulting in a danceable anthem that invites listeners to let go and immerse themselves fully in the music.
Opened by the laid back shuffle of a steady beat, a grooving bass line injects a smooth sway as guitar chords and bright synth leads add dashes of vibrant colour to the arrangement. With the vocals entering to thread catchy melodic hooks above the bouncy instrumental backing, the track abruptly shifts with charging guitar lines and lively drum rolls to deliver a burst of sonic energy.
Flowing with an infectious dance-focused rhythm and wrapped in a shimmering disco vibe cut with touches of rock grit, “SWAY” sees T.A. Narrative serve up a memorable and anthemic sound unlike anything else. Once again showcasing their songwriting panache and putting their original sound on full display, this duo continues to go from strength to strength with each move.
