Fire and Foam

Some of Fire and Foam was written more than twenty years ago, some is newly composed. What binds these songs together is their personal themes-the album is a clarion call to loss on both an abstract and personal level. As the title track calls,"Come rolling thunder, let's fall asunder, in the blink of an eye a long dream dies." This is my first record not informed in any obvious way by the Irish tradition I've been involved in for the past twenty or more years. My last record "Hy Brasil" dealt exclusively with historical stories and songs of the Irish in Latin America, this release is all personal songs and reflections, and leans heavy into alt. folk territory in its sound.
