Slow Skies Release New Single & Announce Dublin Gig Date
Dublin's Slow Skies (aka Karen Sheridan) has just announced that her debut album Realign will be coming out on 11 May and she will be playing Fumbally Stables on 17 May.
Ahead of that, a new single “Fire” was revealed yesterday. The song featured in the premiere of the new Greys Anatomy spin-off series Station 19 in the US last week.
The album was produced in Dublin with Ber Quinn and was recorded whenever they could snatch some time between Ber's busy touring schedule.
The album has various Irish musicians playing on it including Pat O'Leary on keys, Micheal Quinn on drums, Joe Furlong on bass, Danny Snow on double bass, Lia Wright on violin and Matt Rafter on cello.
Speaking about the album Karen says “I started writing the album in Sweden on a writers retreat but ended up writing most of it in the attic of my grandparents' house much later, when the pressure was off.
"I had bought an electric guitar and various electronic bits to endeavour to make some cool music but it just was not working. I ended up scrapping all that and just went back to my trusty, old acoustic guitar.
"I was in a transition and I needed to evaluate a lot of things in my life. The title for the album came from a song called Realign, a song of hope and joy, exploring the possibility of change and of self-transformation for yourself and for the people around you no matter how bad things have been before”.
Here's the album's tracklist: Opening / Shut Your Eyes / Lilac Love / Fire / Patterns / Dancing / Feel It / Realign / Map Out / A Place In Time.
