Mundy is back doing what he does best: writing ridiculously infectious pop-rock songs that lodge in your cranium like squatters in a vacant house.
Celebrating two decades since his breakthrough classic 'To You I Bestow', Mundy's performances are both powerful and melodically dynamic. With the self-titled album 'Mundy" the popular artist gives us his infectious sixth studio album, which was released in April 2015.
Mundy teamed up with Youth, who produced his debut album, the critically acclaimed Jellylegs in 1996. Jellylegs yielded such hit songs 'Gin and Tonic Sky' 'Life's A Cinch' and cc which featured on the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann' s Romeo & Juliet. Following Jellylegs, Mundy went on to release the multi-platinum record 24 Star Hotel, with hit tracks 'July' and 'Mexico' becoming firm favourites. Raining Down Arrows, which hit the #1 slot in the Irish Album Charts, came next and was recorded in the musically revered city of Austin, Texas. His first live album Live and Confusion followed, recorded at a storming and sold out Vicar St show. Galway Girl was recorded as an encore and went on to become the bestselling single and most downloaded song 2 years in a row in Ireland (2007 / 2008). His 4th studio album, Strawberry Blood, followed in 2009 and saw Mundy touring Ireland, Australia and the UK once more. Shuffle was released in 2011 and was a gorgeous ode to some of Mundy' s most favourite songwriters. It featured his versions of songs by greats like Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, John Prine, Paul Simon and Gillian Welch, to name a few.
Since then, Mundy has been busy. He' s been touring the US, performing at The Royal Albert Hall - not to mention the small matter of performing for Barack Obama both on his Irish visit, and at his home in The White House.
Mundy met Youth again a couple of years back and they decided to collaborate together for the first time since '95, winding up in Youth's studio in Spain where they got to work. Youth's is one of the most experienced and talented UK producers, having worked with the likes of The Verve, Pink Floyd, Culture Club, Reverend & The Makers, Echo & The Bunnymen and Paul McCartney. The line-up for the recording included Mundy on guitar and vocals, Youth on bass, Eddie Banda on drums and Michael Rendall on keys, with some extra guitar lines from Simon Tong (The Verve, Gorillaz, Damon Albarn) and Michael Wadada (Suns Of Arqa) on sitar.
