Dublin-based songwriter Sean Meehan, better known as Good Skin, returns with ‘Slow Heart Attack’, his first release of 2026 and the latest step in an increasingly promising career.
Taken from an upcoming album of the same name, the single explores the emotional toll of living through an era defined by uncertainty, conflict, and information overload. Inspired by both local and international events, the song considers how people attempt to make sense of a world that often feels increasingly fragmented and difficult to navigate.
Musically, ‘Slow Heart Attack’ balances reflective songwriting with expansive indie-rock arrangements. Atmospheric guitars, subtle electronic textures, and memorable melodies combine to create a sound that feels both familiar and contemporary, allowing the song’s themes to unfold naturally rather than overwhelm the listener.
Following the success of his 2025 debut album and growing support from BBC Introducing, Good Skin continues to establish himself as a thoughtful voice within the independent music landscape. ‘Slow Heart Attack’ is a carefully crafted return that pairs social observation with emotional honesty, offering a timely reflection on modern life.
