A compelling track that infuses traditional Celtic charm amidst a memorable folk/rock fusing, “Another Sunny Day/Star of Monster” comes via Jack O’ the Clock. They describe the release as a “character-based song about getting through the day while working a retail job.” Twangy guitars and sturdy acoustics build a timeless-sounding intro, with references to “putting the customer at ease,” and trying to discover “a thread,” exuding a heartfelt relatability in its working-day laments. The second half dazzles with its incorporation of the traditional Celtic melody “Star of Munster,” recorded on fiddle and recorder. “Another Sunny Day/Star of Monster” is a wholly memorable output from Jack O’ the Clock.
