‘WARM AIR’ - Irish-based singer-songwriter Si Noble releases debut
solo single
‘Warm Air’ taken from forthcoming debut solo album produced by Ed Harcourt

‘Warm Air’, the perfectly bittersweet soundtrack for a languid summer’s evening, is the debut solo single
from Irish-based singer-songwriter Si Noble.
The single, produced by the Mercury Prize nominated singer-songwriter, Ed Harcourt, marks the return of
a man who has long been a veteran of the West of Ireland indie/alternative music scene.
In ‘Warm Air’, Si, originally from Oxford, but now based in Co Galway, delivers a reflective, anthemic,
sumptuous, and beguiling track, swaying with acoustic guitars and strings, building to an Elbow like
crescendo.
Capturing the languid atmosphere of a summer’s evening, ‘Warm Air’ is shot through with bittersweet
reflections and a dawning realisation that “you can be anyone you want”.
“‘Warm Air’ is a song about someone being in a situation or a relationship they know is at an end,” says
Si. “They are stuck in a paralysis about doing anything about it, but the ‘Warm Air’ is the payoff when they
summon the courage to take a step forward, and release themselves from this paralysis.”
Harcourt’s production and the arrangement, which is both full but never overwhelming, capture the push
and pull of these emotions.
“I’ve always been a massive fan of Ed Harcourt, so to have him work on my debut solo recordings is
amazing,” says Si. “I took a chance and contacted him on Instagram. He liked the music I was writing
and wanted to work with me. It’s been an incredible experience.”
‘Warm Air’ will be accompanied by a B-side, ‘Parting Lines’, which will also feature on the debut solo
album.
Si has been a presence on the Irish music scene with two decades of experience under his belt. He was
the leader of the Brit-Rock influenced band Mugger Dave, who released the album, What's She Doing
Here? in 2010. He was also the lead singer of indie-rock band Cranky Face, which released a number of
singles in the late 2010s.
More recently, Connemara-based Si has worked with Irish language media and arts organisations, such
as RTÉ, TG4, and ROSG Productions. He is currently a producer with TV production company Fibín.
Music has never stopped for Si, who has continued working away on the solo material that will comprise
the album, The Witching Hour, due for release in February 2026. It will be preceded by a second single,
‘Kiss Goodnight’, out later this summer.
‘Warm Air’ will be released on Friday 11 July 2025 on all streaming platforms and can be downloaded via
bandcamp and iTunes.
