She is taking herself apart before our sceptical gaze…

In ‘Embers’ I big ole name drop Ben Okri…and I’m thinking about this piece he write about a dancer and her vulnerability….in those moments before she takes flight, before she moves into her artistic form. It’s about that feeling that pushes back against your courage, that wants to keep you small. And you have to lean forward and…. fall for … moments…..

Like all the tracks on the album, it was recorded with Julie at Analogue- with Stephen Kiernan on drums, Billy on keys and Ciaran McGreevy on bass. I love the rhythmic guitar, snarly and direct.
