LISTEN: Saint Sister's New Single 'Causing Trouble'

“What was I doing all those years?”, asks Morgan Macintyre, one half of the mesmerising duo Saint Sister on their latest single 'Causing Trouble'.
“The song is about transitioning, from Belfast to Dublin, from an old love to a new, and the gaps that can be found between you and another person or place when people transition at different paces and in different directions," she explains.

‘Causing Trouble’ pulls from a wide range of disparate influences. The arrangement courtesy of Gemma Doherty takes the shimmer of 90’s pop stalwarts Moby and Massive Attack, combining luscious harp textures, crisp vocal harmony with 808 thuds and subterranean bass to create a chasmic slice of modern electronic folk.
The track builds on the success of 2016’s 'Tin Man', which was released in December via the Communion Singles Club. The single was met with widespread critical approval and championed in the UK on BBC Radio 1 by Huw Stephens. It received a nomination for Song of the Year by the Choice Music Prize.

The band has had an extremely busy year on the road with a schedule including performances Glastonbury, Longitude, Other Voices and Electric Picnic as well as standout showcase performances at Eurosonic and The Reeperbahn festival.
They were recently invited by Lisa Hannigan to support her on an extensive 20 date European tour.
