The Irrepressibles Announces New EP “Self Love & Acceptance”. Shares Two New Songs “Self Love” & “The Awakening to Self Love (instrumental)”
Manchester-based singer-songwriter Jamie McDermott, aka The Irrepressibles has announced his new EP “Self Love & Acceptance” will be released on October 2, 2023.
The EP comprises 6-track and speaks of therapy and its enlightenment.
Jamie McDermott said of the EP, “Back in 2011 I'd just completed my composition of Arrow and was so anxious as to what the musicians would think I danced around the room trying to make them laugh coming back to the electric piano the stand collapsed onto my hand and I needed surgery and then physio to learn to use my hand again. Such was my anxiety and low self-esteem.”
He continued, As a partner to this forthcoming tour & a look back musically I've composed an EP of songs about my process of going through therapy for my anxiety & depression. They were meditations or processes I just wrote which I later realised were good enough to make public. Some are instrumentals. All are uplifting, some full of sunshine. They all centre around the piano. I've done orchestrations in my earlier style which some would call 'chamber pop' but here my orchestrations are set in nature their processes are organic.”
He added, “The EP artworks are all works by the artist Kit Boyd and we have music videos created by film maker Joel Ryan McDermott and animator Tomos McDermott.”- 9B7ZWJ47IVM

From the EP, he has released two new songs “Self Love” and “The Awakening to Self Love (instrumental)”.
Both songs were written by Jamie McDermott.
Jamie McDermott said, “The instrumental is about how self love is as natural as nature itself. It is about learning to love your nature. They are one and the same. It is about awakening to the wonder of you.”
“The Awakening to Self Love (instrumental)”is accompanied by an animated music video made by Tomos McDermott.
He said, “I have a love for mixing different mediums and letting the natural qualities of different materials shine through.”-
