Joe Mungovan 'Be With You' Tour

Kiama native Joe Mungovan has released his new single ‘Be With You’. The slow builder is the second track from Mungovan in 2019 and is layered with multiple textures and colours.

"I had been living and recording in the bush by myself for a long time when I wrote this song. It came about because I was in such a beautiful place and having a wonderful time and I wanted to share the experience with another human. The natural environment that surrounded me and the sense of solitude I felt inspired me to write this song."

The final touches were added to ‘Be With You’ at Sydney studio One Flight Up with producer Tim Carr (Matt Corby, Urthboy). The track displays a new side of Mungovan’s sonic pallet with the use of ambient strings, lifting synths and syncopated rhythms.

After crashing his skateboard at the age of 13 Mungovan was left wheelchair-bound and unable to play his drumkit for 4 months. In that time Joe taught himself guitar and unconsciously developed a style that blends indie folk and pop together to produce his unique sound.

2019 has already seen Mungovan tour around Germany, France and Spain in support of his single ‘Lost Myself’. The track received airplay on both Triple J and Triple J Unearthed radio stations.
