Lisa Germano returns to Dublin on April 27 for a show in The Grand Social, which will cost you €20 to attend.
She’ll be armed with a new album, Magic Neighbor, which finds her hooking up with Swans leader Michael Gira’s Young God Records.
“Lisa hid herself away for a long while, and I was beginning to despair, then suddenly this beautiful music started coming my way,” Gira says. “I think this is one of her best albums yet. The depth of feeling in her words and singing is truly remarkable, and she never fails to tug at my heart. Somehow it’s both sad, wistful, and hopeful, all at once. It's very private, solitary music. In my view it's deeply engaging, and I often stop what I'm doing and drift off with it into its' world when I listen to it – time and troubles disappear for a short while. For some reason her music reminds me of early Disney songs – fuzzy and dreamy.”
