Loafing Hero debut single now available

Loafing Hero is the solo project of Irish musician and philosopher Bartholomew Ryan, who is currently editing his debut single Darkening Flame.

The single/video, as well as the rest of the album (out in 2022 by Garden Collective) was recorded during a period of seclusion in a Zen monastery in the jungle in the interior of Brazil. Only equipped with his voice and a guitar with nylon strings , Loafing Hero laid the foundations for what would become Darkening Flame and the album Jabuti. Afterwards, already back in Europe, the musician recorded other instruments and textures (with Tadklimp) between Lisbon and Berlin.

Bartholomew Ryan, who has lived in Lisbon for over a decade, teaches at a university and has edited and written numerous books on philosophy and literature, including about Fernando Pessoa. In musical terms, he was one of the founding elements of the group The Loafing Heroes (which edited 6 albums between 2009 and 2019) and also plays in the experimental music group Headfoot (with Colm O’Ciosoig – member of My Bloody Valentine, and Rosie O ‘Reilly).
