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 Psychic Ills Dins Rock And Pop | The Social Registry | 1LP Released 8th December 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Psychic Ills Dins £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: The Social Registry SKU: TSR024LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Luke Roberts Sunlit Cross Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 11th October 2016 £8.99 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luke Roberts Sunlit Cross £8.99 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL425LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 11th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mott The Hoople All The Young Dudes – 50th Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Madfish | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 8th December 2023 £36.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mott The Hoople All The Young Dudes – 50th Anniversary Edition £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Madfish SKU: SMALP1233 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 8th December 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Faith No More King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 25th November 2013 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Faith No More King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP934 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 25th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Creedence Clearwater Revival Pendulum Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 9th March 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Creedence Clearwater Revival Pendulum £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 7235879 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Humanfly Awesome Science Rock And Pop | Brew Records | 2LP Released 11th February 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Humanfly Awesome Science £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Brew Records SKU: BRW027V Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th February 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sofie Royer Harlequin Rock And Pop | Stones Throw | 1LP Released 7th October 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sofie Royer Harlequin £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Stones Throw SKU: STH2476LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Graham Nash This Path Tonight Rock And Pop | Blue Castle Records | 180g, 1LP Released 11th April 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham Nash This Path Tonight £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blue Castle Records SKU: 0852550435166 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kylie Minogue Fever Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 180g, 1LP Released 10th June 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kylie Minogue Fever £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 0190296683039 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jeff Buckley Live At KCRW (Morning Becomes Eclectic) (Black Friday RSD) Rock And Pop | Columbia | 1LP Released 6th December 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jeff Buckley Live At KCRW (Morning Becomes Eclectic) (Black Friday RSD) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 19075978301 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th December 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
