West Wales songwriter Louis O’Hara releases his debut album ‘A Peaceful Kind of Fun’, out now via Libertino Records. Recorded in Spain with his band His Burley Chassis and produced by James Trevascus, the 14-track album draws from folk traditions while folding in chamber-pop touches and restrained arrangements. Songs take shape around memory, place, and personal history, with nylon-string guitar and piano anchoring much of the record’s sound. The single “Magpie” sits at the heart of the album, offering a snapshot of O’Hara’s reflective songwriting and melodic focus.
Across tracks like “Sunnyhill Farm”, “Audrey”, and “Plant a Tree”, the album moves through family ties, landscapes of home, and moments that leave lasting marks. There has been genuine buzz around how naturally the songs settle into their emotions, with listeners responding to the warmth and intimacy of the performances. ‘A Peaceful Kind of Fun’ carries a grounded, lived-in vibe that rewards close listening, letting small details surface through melody, voice, and careful pacing.
