Following a string of lauded singles as one half of the sibling duo Mute The TV, Elliot Crampton is back with a brand new solo single, 'Voice of a Smoker' – premiering below.

The bittersweet song – which powerfully blends the boundaries between pop and folk – delves into Elliot's relationship with his mother and his two late grandmothers. The Greystones singer-songwriter recorded 'Voice of a Smoker' at home, playing guitar, piano, harmonium, bass and drums on the track, while Enda Ó Lorcáin joined in on violin. It further establishes Elliot as a serious one-to-watch on the Irish scene.

To celebrate the release, he'll be playing an open mic night this evening, February 17, at Buck Mulligan's in Dun Laoghaire.
