Building on traditional lyrics and melodies, the band's new compact disc "lovedeathbeauty" delivers a cinematic soundscape ranging from Celtic to Appalachian to Arabic. Dark, beautiful, layered, hallucinogenic, and smart; think 1 Giant Leap, Portishead, Massive Attack filtered through Middle Eastern and Celtic sensibilities. The result is unique, exciting and fresh, while remaining true to the timeless depth and beauty of traditional Celtic music.
The palette of sounds is large and varied, combining acoustic instruments (flutes, tin whistle, accordion, cittern, sitar) with contemporary (loops, techno beats, samples, sequencers, Eastern percussion/rhythms, thunderous drums, heavy rock guitars) -- all tied together with rich male/female lead vocals and lush harmonies.
The group is again joined on this album by uilleann pipes player Eric Rigler (Troy, Master And Commander, Titanic, Braveheart, The Road To Perdition soundtracks) and world percussionist Austin Wrinkle (Hands On'Semble) as well as numerous other special guests.
