Siren EP

Recorded between Dublin, Belfast, and Bristol, Siren EP is a collaborative project from Dónal Kearney. The mythology of the siren is embedded in European folklore. In ancient Greece, the sirens' song lured sailors to shipwreck on rocky Aegean shores. Similarly, the Irish mythology of the maighdean mhara or Gaelic Selkies often have tragic relationships with their human lovers. Even today, the sea keeps many secrets from us. As with the human mind, we delve at our peril. There are voices calling us down from within. When the siren comes to us in our dreams, we are trapped in an in-between place where reason cannot reach. We are under its spell.
