Drop The Shadow

Drop The Shadow is the music project of Irish songwriter, musician, & director Mike Walsh.

Preparations for a return & debut album are in the final stages with new releases scheduled for 2027.

Previous singles 'Time' & 'Cross to Bear' were both playlisted by Hot Press Magazine, whilst the music video for 'Time' also premiered on the site. Both also received generous airplay by Beat 102/103, iRadio, KCLR & WLR FM.

The project strongly values the music video experience, as seen in the aforementioned movement themed video for 'Time', written & directed by Mike. The inspiration for the video, featuring dancer Tobi Omoteso & aerial silks performer Rebecca Marsden, was sparked by a piece of art painted by his uncle Michael. This is also the official artwork for the track.
Sonic & production influences include Alex G, Wolf Alice, Alt J, Unknown Mortal Orchestra & Beach House.

Previous Press:
Hot Press Magazine (2019) on 'Other Voices':
"... an epic music video for one of their most thrilling songs...the track finds the guys at their strongest".

Joe.ie 'Song Of The Day' (2018) on 'Break The Fall':
"It's a classic three-minute piece of indie-rock. Good vocals and the sound of a band in total unison. It's certainly a promising debut and one which makes you want to hear more from them in the future."
