Music is an integral part of Irish culture and society, and so it is no surprise that there is an abundance of exciting new up-and-coming artists. We’ve met a few and any time an Irish person meets someone abroad and the conversation inevitably glides to pop culture, you know what’s coming. First comes the leprechaun question, then comes the music followup which inevitably includes mentions of U2, The Cranberries and if you’re really unlucky The Corrs. That is Irish music of old.
Much has changed!
Ireland’s music scene experienced a rebirth of creativity that led it into previously unknown tributaries of music. New genres were explored and the rejuvenation of a entire country’s music scene occured. It is well underway and now flowing into the waters of the world and has finally reached the shores of Exposed Vocals. Lets talk about Kingdom Of Crows and their new single Sycadia
No-one encapsulates the reinvention of Irish music in recent years better than this Alternative rock band fused with Ambient. The Kindom of Crows deliver an urgency to their instrumental rock sound that is as vibrant as it is thrilling. Their second album DESPONDENCY is sure to extend beyond any post-rock comparisons. The resulting hybrid is more “Ambient rock” than “post-rock” and totally unique because of it. Sycadia is the impressive scope executed with a distinctly Irish carefree abandon.
They are indeed a well-rehearsed and passionate band and hopefully “DESPONDENCY” is as good of a listen as their debut album “The Truth Is The Trip”
