Basciville share new single 'Love In The Time Of The State'

Irish folk-rock duo Basciville have unveiled 'Love In The Time Of The State', the striking title track from their newly released second album, out now via Faction Records. The song arrives alongside a video that captures scenes of everyday working life in the band’s hometown of Wexford.

Written by brothers Cillian and Lorcan Byrne, the track reflects on the emotional strain and social tensions that shape modern living. While acknowledging frustration with political and economic pressures, the song ultimately focuses on the enduring strength of compassion and human connection.

Musically, 'Love In The Time Of The State' blends the duo’s intimate folk foundations with expansive arrangements and dramatic melodic build-ups. The result is a stirring piece that balances vulnerability with quiet determination.
