1000 Beasts is back with a new track that gets straight to work on warming the room, bringing on artist Tomike for a glowing vocal performance. A grooving drumline full of feel opens the track, followed by heartfelt piano chords and a twangy guitar. There’s also a whistling string line that sits above all else. When the vocals start, they come into focus, with Tomike delivering a gorgeous lead that is decorated with angelic harmonies. The production is shimmering and glittery throughout. Relaxing and intricate, this track takes on a life of its own as the listener is transported into a world of their own, losing themselves in the music.
1000 Beasts shares on the new release:
“I first met Tomike during the pandemic when we collaborated on ‘Ériú’ with Body & Soul. After working together on the remix of ‘It’s Like’, I knew I wanted her to be part of my upcoming album. I sent her some beats, she sent back some ideas, and Cherry Delight was born! I love the track – it’s a perfect mix of our styles, bringing a fresh vibe while still capturing the essence of my earlier work. So excited about it!”

Arguably one of the most prolific producers to come out of Cork in recent times, 1000 Beasts debuted in 2017 with his first full-length album coming in April 2022 in the form of ‘Naruda’. It featured collaboration and co-writes from the likes of FeliSpeaks, Célia Tiab, LENII, Arthur Valentine, April and Orla Gartland and was well received on streaming services.
The project works on a simple concept, one producer writes & collaborates with different artists to create music greater than the sum of its parts. This method has led to a sophomore album from 1000 Beasts, set to come out in late 2023.
