Lisa Hannigan Live Music & Concerts

Lisa returns with her At Swim album produced by Aaron Dessner (The National).

A joyous kaleidoscope of love songs, laments, sea shanties and glockenspiels, with a cover hand-stitched by Lisa herself, the self-released album was a runaway success, nominated for a Choice award in Ireland and a Mercury Music Prize in the UK.

The ecstatic reception gave her the confidence to explore deeper, darker emotions. Passenger, which came out in 2011, centred around the pain of leaving and the sense of apartness consequent to a life spent in constant motion. If Sea Sew bobs beautifully on the surface, you could say that Passenger explores the undercurrents of passion and heartache beneath the waves. Since then, she's contributed a haunting cover of 'Danny Boy' to the TV series Fargo, vocals for Steve Price's scores for Gravity (which won an Oscar) and Fury and recorded and toured for the Way To Blue – The Songs Of Nick Drake project.

She now returns with her brand new album At Swim, produced by Aaron Dessner (The National). The thing about Lisa Hannigan is she'll tell you she's off course, or unbelieving, or at swim, and then she'll turn around and write a song so direct and so natural and so perfect it seems like it's always been there. The truth, one suspects, is that she feels quite happy being lost at sea. At this point in her career, she's a strong enough swimmer to go as far out as she wants, right out into the storm; she's brave enough to plumb the darkest depths, down to where the brightest treasure lies. And she's great-hearted enough to bring it back for us.
