LIMERICK artist Sinead O’Brien released her debut album ‘Time Bend and Break The Bower’ in June via Chess Club Records. The London based poet, vocalist and designer is on the cutting edge of a new wave of musicians (among them Wet Leg and Fontaines D.C.) combining spoken word with post-punk creating a scintillating and dynamic experience.
Sinead says the record is made of “heat, desire, hard places and soft things.”
Chess Club Records commented – “Creating at the triangulation of words, music and image, O’Brien has always conjured powerful worlds: but none more powerful, or as immersive, than on her debut record. In the space that exists between her delivery at once wry, silky, vicious, and self-assured – and the music – a dynamic, dancing call-and-response from her collaborators, guitarist Julian Hanson and drummer Oscar Robertson – lies a productive tension. Using a method of creating on-instinct, in constant communication with multisensory cues, O’Brien is carving out a space as a musical oracle for an ever-shifting era.”
Sinead O’Brien and band will play Dolan’s Warehouse this Saturday October 29.
