Eoin Shannon shares that “Every Drunk's Gotta Story” is not just an album but a jazzy journey.

“Every Drunk's Story” - A hazy, atmospheric record where each track is like a midnight confession of a stranger.

Eoin Shannon turns the space into a platform for telling meaningful stories through music. Based in Cork, Eoin Shannon has developed a unique space for himself as a storyteller through music by combining the traditional appeal of standards with contemporary indie style. His songs centre around human emotions and provide deep and immersive experiences that focus on character development. His deep voice, gruff singing style and film-inspired musical pieces bring to life such amazing sound worlds that, simultaneously, Through Every Drunk's Gotta Story, Shannon writes for the after-hours, a special time when people reveal their true selves without the usual barriers. This album is an effective vehicle for truth, capturing those tender moments of vulnerability and unguardedness. People's tales after midnight hold a special attraction as the world essentially comes to a halt and honesty takes over.

"Every Drunk's Gotta Story" presents a spellbinding depiction of the transient and personal sensation of a moment.

Instead of simply being a collection of songs, the album is like entering a dimly lit pub where each person has a story, and each tune is a narrative longing to be told. The attitude of the entire collection "Sweetheart Candy Lovin" comes from the way this album was designed, with a swagger; it's full of punchy drums and a slick groove on the guitar. This piece best captures the two-sided nature of Shannon's storytelling style, his playfulness, and rawness, more than any other one of his works. There is also a female voice wrapped in delicacy that gives the song a new layer of feeling. It poetically depicts how a lonely person who frequents a bar gets connected wordlessly to the only human who listens without judging.

Pull Up a Stool is all about expressing gentleness. It is a very tender track which relies heavily on a piano, almost like a secret between two people who have just met. It starts with the offer to a stranger that transforms into more intimacy. We find here themes of understanding, loneliness, and the willingness to give up one's time and energy for the sake of others.

Pour Me Some Unconditional Love secretly tops the list of deceptive album tracks. On the first listening, one would mistake it for a love song, but below the surface is an intense and sad story about dependency and addiction. Shannon's delivery is so delicate and richly layered that the song is given a ghostly mood that leads it to one of the most reflective points of the album.

Last Call For The Broken Hearted is an excellent choice as the last song. The airy guitars, together with the rising vocals, build a surreal aura, and the tranquil tone of Shannon's voice depicts a mellow type of giving up.

On the one hand, Shannon skillfully weaves the feelings into the plot. On their own, each song is telling a completely different story, while collectively, the songs unfold a universe of intriguing yet imperfect characters. The music, which is always rich and vigorous, is quite minimal to the point that the listener's concentration mainly rests on the words of the song. In the end, Every Drunk Has A Story is centred around the characters of a bar (and their mistakes, desires and fleeting relationships) rather than the bar itself. The album captures a poignant exploration of human struggles, with Shannon's artistry emphasising emotional depth. The album leaves a lasting impression on listeners by resonating with universal themes of heartache, connection, and redemption. Shannon's ability to weave intricate stories through her music invites listeners to reflect deeply on their own experiences. As a result, Every Drunk Has A Story becomes more than just a collection of songs; it is an emotional journey that lingers long after the final note has faded.
