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 Bob Dylan Love and Theft Rock And Pop | We Are Vinyl | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 7th December 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Love and Theft £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: We Are Vinyl SKU: 88985455291 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 7th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joss Stone Dub For Your Soul Rock And Pop | Stoned Records | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 31st July 2015 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joss Stone Dub For Your Soul £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Stoned Records SKU: STONE0110 Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 31st July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View James Yorkston I Was A Cat From A Book Folk | Domino | 10", 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 17th August 2012 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders James Yorkston I Was A Cat From A Book £20.00 Genre: Folk Label: Domino SKU: WIGLP290 Formats: 10", 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 17th August 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline Rock And Pop | Columbia | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 22nd January 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bob Dylan Nashville Skyline £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 19439797561 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 22nd January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Phosphorescent Live At The Music Hall Americana / Country | Dead Oceans | 3LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th February 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Phosphorescent Live At The Music Hall £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC093LP Formats: 3LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Band of Horses Everything All The Time Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 23rd March 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Band of Horses Everything All The Time £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP690X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jana Horn The Window Is The Dream Rock And Pop | No Quarter | 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jana Horn The Window Is The Dream £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: No Quarter SKU: NOQ085LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rae Morris Rachel @ Fairyland Rock And Pop | Sony | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th July 2022 £23.00 - £25.00 Select options Rae Morris Rachel @ Fairyland £23.00 - £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th July 2022 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Pixies Trompe Le Monde Rock And Pop | 4AD | 1LP Released 9th October 2008 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pixies Trompe Le Monde £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: CAD1014 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 9th October 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seratones POWER Rock And Pop | New West | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd August 2019 £16.00 Select options Seratones POWER £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: New West Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd August 2019 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
