“Brushing off the Rust” by Dotts O’Connor is a refreshing and uplifting anthem that tells the story of two individuals embarking on the road to self-discovery. With its upbeat melodies and soulful vocals, this single captures the essence of leaving behind hardship and embracing new beginnings.
“Brushing off the Rust” kicks off with a punchy saxophone melody pumping the tone for the playful groove that follows. The jittery percussion brings a ruffling naturalism to the song as the soft guitars add layers of reflective texture to the music, creating a rich sonic landscape that draws us in from the start.
Recorded live at The Meadow recording studio in Wicklow, “Brushing off the Rust” features a talented lineup of musicians, including Paul Kenny on drums, Brian Dillon on guitar, Ken McCabe on bass guitar, and Liam McCabe on saxophone.
The upbeat and playful instrumentals sound raw and organic as recorded live. This spontaneity gives “Brushing off the Rust” life and immediacy. You can feel the wind, the earth, the skies and a better life with the singer. Without striving for perfection, you can feel the musicians just enjoying their given takes and going to the Neverland of their own wild dreams with the couple.
Dotts’ deep and rich vocals sing out the story, delivering poignant lyrics about leaving behind struggles and embracing the promise of a brighter future slowly and soothingly. As he sings, “Dream all you can, they are yours alone,” we’re reminded of the power of hope and the promise of better days ahead.
