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 Nearly New View Product Quick View Bachman Turner Overdrive Bachman Turner Overdrive Rock And Pop | Mercury | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 15th June 2020 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bachman Turner Overdrive Bachman Turner Overdrive £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mercury SKU: nn205874 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 15th June 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Abba Head Over Heels Rock And Pop | UMR / Polydor | 7", Picture Disc Released 1st December 2023 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba Head Over Heels £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR / Polydor SKU: 5507435 Formats: 7", Picture Disc Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Wildbirds & Peacedrums Retina E.P.
