Hailing from Dublin, SELL EVERYTHING is a five-piece collective fusing jazz guitar, off-kilter rhythms, and sharp lyrical wit into a sound entirely their own. Their genre-blurring approach — spanning indie rock, grunge, jazz, and hip hop — yields songs that feel equally at home in dimly lit clubs and on festival main stages. Frontman Tom Kelly’s wry, observational lyrics thread through lush arrangements with a balance of intimacy and detachment, creating an emotional pull that’s both immediate and enduring. With a DIY ethos and a reputation for unpredictable, compelling live shows, SELL EVERYTHING are rapidly emerging as one of Ireland’s most exciting and forward-thinking acts.
Today, the band are sharing their latest single, a track called “Girls, Girls, Girls,” which is out today on their label home Future Gods.
The band’s early singles have drawn praise from Stereogum, FLOOD, and Line of Best Fit, earning comparisons to artists like King Krule, Bar Italia and Mk.gee. While those comparisons might imply a downbeat vibe, “Girls, Girls, Girls” injects that vibe with a looseness and a sense of fun.
A jazz-leaning indie track built on warm guitar work inspired by Wes Montgomery and a rhythmic sway that nods to Anotr and early Underworld, the track is lyrically playful yet emotionally sharp, drifting between fleeting encounters, restless desire, and self-deprecating humor. It’s the band’s most immediate and infectious release yet, with a groove that lingers long after the track ends.
The band say of the song:
“‘Girls Girls Girls’ is written with irony at its core. On the surface, it feels upbeat and soulful — almost celebratory — but the heart of the song is about that nagging feeling of missing out, when really it’s just in your head. The video reflects that through the pirate character: he’s dressed as an outsider, but it’s his own perception that keeps him apart. The verses carry a bright, major feel, while the chorus shifts into something more melancholic and reflective — a push and pull between joy and self-doubt. In the end, it’s less about wanting what you think you lack, and more about realizing that you’ve put yourself on the outside.”
Keep your mind open.
