Description
After 5 BBC Folk Awards nominations and Guardian’s acknowledgment of All Of This Is Chance as Folk Album of the Year in 2019, it is clear Lisa O’Neill stands out as one of the most remarkable songwriters in modern Irish music. Fresh off 2018’s Heard a Long Song Gone for River Lea imprint and a Bob Dylan adaptation for Peaky Blinders, her latest album, her first with Rough Trade, is an exquisite collection of stories set on Irish soil. Every track is an elaborate orchestral masterpiece – witness “Old Note” inspired by Patrick Kavanagh’s The Great Hunger – or a tranquil rumination on nature, birds, berries, bees, and blood. The album elevates O’Neill’s evocative voice to even greater heights, a must-have record for any fan.
