SINEAD O'BRIEN STRANGERS IN DANGER

Providing details of her debut EP Drowning In Blessings, Limerick-born, London-based wordsmith and captivating performer Sinead O'Brien, has today unveiled another intriguing single. Born from "a strange epiphany" that O'Brien had during a gig, 'Strangers In Danger' unpicks the vivid imagery of “Plastic flowers in bloom and the sound of soccer”, finding wider meaning in the image's fundamentally conflicting and contrasting core ideologies. Aided sonically, as always, by the lucid guitar work of Julian Hanson and the dynamic drumming of Oscar Robertson, 'Strangers In Danger' also sports legendary producer Dan Carey's recognisable left-field techniques as otherworldly soundscapes ebb, flow and give rise to O'Brien's astute lyrical observations. The delectably disorientating cut will appear on Drowning In Blessings, which is due to arrive on the 16th of September via Chess Club Records. -Holly Mullineaux
