P Stands For Paddy

 

During the last weekend I found time I decided to have a look through my inbox full of promotional emails and delete most of them. As always, there was a surprise to be found. London’s Heavenly Recordings label seems to have a knack for releasing great new music at the moment. Just recently, they announced the new – and presumably final – LP by Dexy’s Midnight Runners and released the fantastic album by The Orielles. 

With the release of their debut album, they have made a complete musical turnaround and introduce us to Absolute Lilt. An Irish vocal duo comprising Lisa Canny and Niamh Hinchy, who breathe new life into the traditional Irish singing tradition within a modern framework. Two voices move in close, circling motion, creating something hypnotic, playful and deeply Irish, situated somewhere between folk, gently pulsating club music and vocal experimentation.

Another song that, once you’ve heard it, you just can’t get out of your head.
