Writing from her own observations, O’Brien’s influences can be found in the realism of Mark E. Smith of The Fall, Patti Smith and The Slits, and the works of literary icons such Frank O’Hara, W.B. Yeats, Joan Didion and Albert Camus. Releases to date have drawn admiration from British and American outlets and radio stations as diverse as The FADER, Stereogum, The Guardian, Loud And Quiet, The Quietus, BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 6 Music, and more. Speaking about the new single, O’Brien explains: “‘Most Modern Painting’ is about the creation and maintenance of ‘the self’ – the most epic task we are faced with in our lives. I wanted to work with structure in an unconventional way, linking the movements together using various voices from the narrative. The lyrics are voiced through a dialogue between the conscious and unconscious, through dream recall, memory, the individual and the ego.” The accompanying music video for ‘Most Modern Painting’ was shot in a film-like manner on 16mm. Directed by Saskia Dixie, the movements are intrinsically linked to the lyrics; the choreography incorporates physical theatre, dance and elements of daily gestures and habits. The chorus line on ‘Most Modern Painting’ birthed the title for the EP ‘Drowning In Blessings’ – “The more I said it, the more it meant. It’s an image which I find really cathartic; seeing the weight or build up of things as possibilities and opportunities instead of bearing their burdens. I approached the set of songs on the EP like a short album so the body of work feels full and tells a substantial story. Tracks allude and refer to one another and provide clues and hints to the future and to the past. It’s not only about language and music – it’s about energy, spaces, leaving room for other people to get in.” A multifaceted artist, O’Brien’s writing has also been published by the esteemed London Magazine whose alumni include T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath and William Burroughs. Her unique fusion of spoken lyrics and art rock has piqued the attention of luminaries of both fields, seeing her perform with John Cooper Clarke and The Brian Jonestown Massacre at sold out theatres across the U.K. Playing live with her band and collaborators; Julian Hanson (guitar) and Oscar Robertson (drums), Sinead O’Brien’s transfixing performances are placing her at the forefront of a resurgent wave of independent British and Irish talent. “Irish Sprechgesang punk that embraces the feeling of unknown” – Loud And Quiet “O’Brien gets ever deeper into the psyche of it all” – The FADER “The brilliant Irish poet continues the punk Sprechgesang revival” – The Guardian “hugely exciting” – The Quietus “Quite simply, O’Brien is a hell of a performer” – NME “another new, idiosyncratic voice coming from across the Atlantic” – Stereogum “endlessly fascinating” – The Line Of Best Fit Artist Sinead O'Brien Genre Rock And Pop Label Chess Club Buying Options 10" EP/Mini Album Format 10" , EP/Mini Album Condition New Country UK Track Listings Most Modern Painting Roman Ruins Fall With Me Strangers In Danger Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Ela Orleans Movies For Ears Rock And Pop | Night School | 1LP Released 29th March 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ela Orleans Movies For Ears £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Night School SKU: LSSN062 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th March 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hiatus Kaiyote Love Heart Cheat Code Rock And Pop | Ninja Tune | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th June 2024 £22.00 Select options Hiatus Kaiyote Love Heart Cheat Code £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ninja Tune Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th June 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Real Estate Atlas Rock And Pop | Domino | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Real Estate Atlas £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP320 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View U2 Songs Of Surrender (Limited Edition) Rock And Pop | Island | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 17th March 2023 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders U2 Songs Of Surrender (Limited Edition) £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 5503441 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 17th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Lennon Double Fantasy Rock And Pop | Apple | 180g, 1LP Released 17th August 2015 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Lennon Double Fantasy £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Apple SKU: 5357102 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 17th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dent May Across The Multiverse Rock And Pop | Carpark Records | 1LP Released 18th August 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dent May Across The Multiverse £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Carpark Records SKU: CAK123LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mick Jagger Primitive Cool Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 6th December 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mick Jagger Primitive Cool £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 811844 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Duran Duran All You Need Is Now Rock And Pop | BMG | 2LP Released 25th November 2022 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Duran Duran All You Need Is Now £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538777277 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ian Anderson Homo Erraticus Rock And Pop | Madfish | 2LP Released 28th February 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ian Anderson Homo Erraticus £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Madfish SKU: SMALP1120 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 28th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Turner Cody & The Soldiers Of Love Friends In High Places Rock And Pop | Capitane | 1LP Released 4th June 2021 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Turner Cody & The Soldiers Of Love Friends In High Places £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Capitane SKU: CAPITANE016 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
