about

49th & Main have returned with a double A side 'Crash and Burn / Said Nothing.

The singles are the first release from the genre-spanning Irish duo in 2023, and come in the wake of their debut EP 'Must Be Nice', which was released in September 2022 via Counter Records (an imprint of Ninja Tune).

Setting the tone for the summer to come, the two new singles effortlessly capture both ends of the 49th & Main musical spectrum - as 'Crash and Burn' acts as a festival anthem in waiting, while 'Said Nothing' is a long-awaited ballad from the duo that captures their raw songwriting ability, featuring rapidly upcoming alt pop star SKYLAR. Both singles were mixed by Edmund Irwin-Singer of Glass Animals, indicating a new direction the duo are heading in.

Speaking about 'Crash And Burn', 49th & Main said: "Any given songs potential is at the whim of how good the idea behind it is, and how motivated we are really. Crash & Burn was a 'slow burner' so to speak. Felt like a decent idea but very barebones for a long while. Until, day by day, harmonies were added, guitar layers, horn sections, drum switch ups and then seemingly out of nowhere, we had our biggest song we'd ever made. 'Biggest' meaning most musical elements/layers and probably most technical too. It's been a favourite of ours for a long time now so we're very excited to share it ."

Speaking about 'Said Nothing', they continued: "I remember at some point last year, talking to a friend about music and we were talking about trends and how certain genres or song archetypes have their moment in the sun and they mentioned that ballads were out, nobody likes them right now. So, naturally, I immediately thought, let’s make a ballad. We're not led by genres when it comes to writing songs. Music, while being many other things, is a tool for us to convey ideas, moods and create moments. This song is no exception. It's a different type of moment that we've gone for on ’Said Nothing'. Not one you've heard in a 49th & Main song previously, but that's why it's special."
