Belfast-based experimental folk songwriter Joshua Burnside offers a mellow entry point into his newly released It’s Not Going to Be Okay with “Moon High”, a track emblematic of the album’s low-lying ruminations. Written in the wake of a childhood friend’s overdose, the song distils Burnside’s signature blend of Irish folk and experimental textures into something both native and adventurous.
