‘GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE’
UK RE-RELEASE 21/6/24
Absinthe Green began in 2016 as a personal project of songwriter and producer Eirini ‘Absinthe Green’ in Dortmund, Germany. The completion of the songs for the debut album coincided with a move back to Greece in late 2019, where Absinthe was joined by drummer Harry Mason, bassist Villy Pirris, and herself on vocals and guitar, transforming the project into a full-fledged band. Subsequently, Panos Economakis was the latest addition, fulfilling the band’s line-up by assuming guitar duties, completing the ensemble.

“Give the Devil His Due is the third single release of Absinthe Green, and it features a collaboration with world- renowned musician Snowy Shaw. ‘Give the Devil His Due’ is a song about temptation. The story starts with the main character having a nice evening at home, strumming her guitar, while the devil pays a visit, knocks on the door and as he tries to seduce her, a dialogue begins. The song was born writing the lyric inspired by sea-shanties’ rhythm and rhyme. It features Snowy Shaw in the role of the Devil. My initial approach to this specific tune is to express the feeling of temptation through allegorical storytelling, and music-wise I wanted to write a song that will be fun, playful and groovy for live performance. I recorded the demo singing the Devil’s interlude part with a low voice, and then I immediately realised that it would be amazing if it was sung by a male person with natural low/ baritone voice. I knew Snowy for more than a decade ago, and right away I knew that he was the right person for the role of the Devil, performance and image-wise. I was so happy to see that he liked the song enough to be a part of it. I feel like I subconsciously wrote that part exactly for him”. – Eirini ‘Absinthe Green’
