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 Big Brother and the Holding Company Cheap Thrills Rock And Pop | Mobile Fidelity | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 9th March 2016 £81.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Brother and the Holding Company Cheap Thrills £81.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: MFSL2453 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 9th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Corey Taylor CMFT Rock And Pop | Roadrunner Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd October 2020 £28.00 Select options Corey Taylor CMFT £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Roadrunner Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd October 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Holy Magick Holy Magick Electronica | Lost Room Records | 1LP Released 24th May 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Holy Magick Holy Magick £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lost Room Records SKU: LPLRR002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sufjan Stevens Songs For Christmas Rock And Pop | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 5LP Released 9th November 2018 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sufjan Stevens Songs For Christmas £60.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR28LP Formats: 5LP Released Date: 9th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Computers, The Love Triangles, Hate Squares Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP Released 24th April 2013 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Computers, The Love Triangles, Hate Squares £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1161 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th April 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View That Petrol Emotion Manic Pop Thrill [half-speed master edition – 180g black vinyl] Rock And Pop | Demon | 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released 8th September 2023 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders That Petrol Emotion Manic Pop Thrill [half-speed master edition – 180g black vinyl] £29.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Demon SKU: DEMREC1136 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Half Speed Mastered Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View John Fogerty John Fogerty Rock And Pop | Fantasy | 1LP Released 7th December 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations John Fogerty John Fogerty £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fantasy SKU: nn277371 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th December 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Def Leppard X Rock And Pop | Mercury | 1LP Released 11th June 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Def Leppard X £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mercury SKU: 818003 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joan Armatrading Consequences Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP Released 18th June 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joan Armatrading Consequences £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538674323 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pogues, The Rum, Sodomy & The Lash Rock And Pop | Rhino | 180g, 1LP Released 31st August 2013 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pogues, The Rum, Sodomy & The Lash £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: RHINO74157 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st August 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
