about

Following the success of last year’s ‘People Feel’ EP and 2023’s ‘Pleasure’. Nixer announce their second single in quick succession ‘Irish Dancer’. Official release is suitably slated for March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day.

The record’s motif is jovial, energetic & frenetic but was written in a period of converse feelings for the songwriter & lead singer Seán Keenan. The track, devised in the author’s head on a cold December morning cycle through South London, provided a cathartic outlet and inspired a period of creative output which will form the basis of Nixer’s output for the year ahead.

‘Irish Dancer’ marks a development in the Nixer sound with additional production provided by NYC based Simon Gardner.

Lyrically the record explores the feelings of isolation one feels in today’s world of social media and the duality of these social frameworks. The ‘Dancer’ has meaning both literally and metaphorically, referring to the connection with someone and the liberating act of dance itself.

lyrics

Texting in the groupchat to see the plan for
I’m looking for the answers, for the answers
I’ve fallen in love with a dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
Excommunicate, deviate and dethrone
In my dreams, we dance alone
Let’s plan for nothing
Just take my hand
We’ll dance along this shore
And etch our names into the sand
Cynicism hidden written in a book about love
Hedonism welcomed me into another world
Disenchanted with the way things be
Let’s treat this dance like therapy
Texting in the groupchat to see the plan for
I’m looking for the answers, for the answers
I’ve fallen in love with a dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
I’ve fallen in love with an Irish Dancer
