Cry Monster Cry

**Cry Monster Cry** is an Irish indie-folk duo made up of brothers Richie and Jamie McCourt. Hailing from Dublin, the pair craft warm, harmony-driven tunes blending acoustic textures with thoughtful lyrics often inspired by nature and self-reflection. Since emerging in the early 2010s, they’ve built a reputation for their stripped-back live performances and releases like their 2015 debut album *Rhythm of Dawn*, which includes fan favorites like “Atlas” and “Things We Can’t Take Back.” Their sound—rooted in folk but sprinkled with indie-pop sensibility—shines in tracks like “Tides” and their heartfelt rendition of “The Parting Glass,” showcasing their knack for balancing tradition with modern warmth. With tracks like “Citadel” (and its remix by Richey McCourt) and a soulful live cover of Florence + The Machine’s “Ship to Wreck,” they’ve carved out a cozy niche in Ireland’s vibrant music scene.
