about

On 3 May 2024, we release a new single, ‘The White Birds’, by Adrian Crowley. The release is part of a new Bring Your Own Hammer series where we ask composers, singers and musicians to interpret the work of Irish writers from the long nineteenth century (1789-1920). ‘The White Birds’ was written by W.B. Yeats in 1891. On 4 August he accompanied Maud Gonne to Howth and, three days later, on 7 August, he sent her the poem. He was in love, she remained unattainable. Crowley offers a beautiful song of longing and a melancholy reflection on love and loss.

Adrian Crowley is an award-winning songwriter, singer, and composer who has, over two decades, created a deeply-affecting body of work. The Dublin-based artist is noted as having a uniquely dark poetic sensibility and an arrestingly resonant voice. His songs have led him to being described as a master story-teller and the rich tapestry of his expansive recorded output is proof that he is an endlessly inspired and inspiring artist. His last album 'The Watchful Eye Of The Stars' was produced by the legendary John Parish. Attempted comparisons with Adrian Crowley’s powerfully emotive, complex and contemplative songs range from Scott Walker to Ivor Cutler, Lou Reed to Nick Cave, but the potency of his rich baritone voice and haunting lyrical narratives, amid settings that alternate sweeping sonic majesty with ghostly starkness, is uniquely his own.

If anything, it is a faction but unlike nineteenth-century factions, who met, armed with sticks and wattles in fairs and markets, it is armed with voices and instruments and dedicated, as no faction before, to the re-interpretation of historical material in song form. ... more
