3. Josh McClorey: Sippin’ Bucky

If Josh’s track ‘Sippin’ Bucky’ was indeed bottled, it would be a freshly decanted appellation, brimming a bouquet of sun-fresh floral notes, and imbibed with tannins of denim, tie-dye, and rolled tobacco. The tune’s upside beats and catchy hook filling gave cause for this newspaper to previously suggest it would be the anthem of the summer, had Covid not once again scuppered the festival craic once again. That sentiment still stands. Roll on next summer!
