Rising Irish newcomer Kynsy shares 'Happiness Isn’t A Fixed State' single and video

Words: Sam Geary 

Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Ciara Lindsey, aka Kynsy, has unveiled her new single, 'Happiness Isn’t A Fixed State'.

Following debut release 'Cold Blue Light', the song was written and co-produced by Lindsey, with Claudius Mittendorfer (Interpol, Sorry, Parquet Courts) mixing and honing the finished work into three minutes of alt-rock swagger.

“It’s a tug of war between the positive and negative thought processes that occur when a relationship ends," she says of the song. "It's about accepting the fact that sometimes you have to laugh the pain away or look at negativity head on in order to feel positive emotions and have positive thoughts again."

Tune into the track via the self-directed video below, which was shot in Dublin by Tim Shearwood and features Kynsy and her friends.

“I wanted to try and create the same sort of balance of ideas, it needed to be fun and playful but with moments of emotional vulnerability in there too, a sort of ying and yang of simple fun against complex emotions.”
