Pete Mac has released his new single ‘Disappear’. Disappear’ is the first original solo track released by Paradox frontman Pete Mac in over 10 years since the release of his first solo album ‘In Limbo’ in 2009.Recorded at Wavefield Recording Studios in West Cork ‘Disappear’ takes a different direction to the usual harder sound of Paradox featuring Brian Casey on grand piano and keys and Peter O’Sullivan on drums. The track was written during the lockdown period with Pete experimenting with different sounds. Pete has also been kept busy in 2020 recording some of his favorite cover versions at his home studio and releasing them on Spotify aswell as collaborating with other musicians such as drummer Mick Cross from Bunnosionn via long distance recording on such tracks as REM ‘Man on the Moon’ and The Smashing Pumpkins ‘Disarm’.Pete Mac plans on recording and releasing more original music this year with the plan of releasing a full length album next year.

‘Disappear’ is a tender track which spreads delicate and moving melodies over a building rhythmic backdrop. There are subtle elements of alternative grunge flickering through the warm powerful vocals with rock ballad aspects oozing from the melody while the lonely desert pine on guitars, buoyant rhythm and acoustic guitar strums flood the track in rich textures. The piano embellishments fill out the track’s wispy backdrop creating an ambient and ethereal atmosphere for the melancholic melody to brood within. A joy to listen to, ‘Disappear’ is a fantastic display of Pete Mac’s refined and beautiful musicianship.
