A Slender Song

A Slender Song / Seán Mac Erlaine

Ergodos // 2014 // Limited Edition Vinyl + Digital


Release on limited edition, transparent orange vinyl, with stunning artwork by Craig Carry, woodwind instrumentalist and composer Seán Mac Erlaine’s second solo album is a place where haunting melodies are living, growing things, developing in sympathy with nuanced loops and fluttering particles of sound.

"Right at the forefront of new music exploration with electronics and mixed media on this island...Seán Mac Erlaine understands pacing in the world of live electronics like few other performers." - Nova, RTÉ Lyric FM

"Mac Erlaine moves in a slow fashion, building gasping melodies, droning lines, threadbare ambient electronics and flushes of majestic horn passages puncturing the silence...It’s an exercise in restraint yet has has imaginative limits. It creates a space that has knowledge of modern jazz, improvisation techniques, electronica and folk but bows to none." - Nialler9, First Listen

"★★★★ An utterly original sonic space" - The Irish Times.

"Beautiful improvised woodwind and live electronic sounds from a series of live recordings by the Dublin musician and member of This Is How We Fly." - Jim Carroll, Irish Times
