"Arresting, hypnotic compositions... with dissonance often stuttering next to moments of deep beauty. Both of its time and out of time." – The Guardian
Brìghde Chaimbeul’s (pronounced Breetch-er Hime-bowl) debut album The Reeling hit the mark straight away – pun intended – and landed in the 2019 year-end lists of influential blog The Quietus (#13) and respected newspaper The Guardian (#7 ‘Best Folk Albums of 2023’), rubbing shoulders with the likes of Lankum, ØXN and Shirley Collins. Even Caroline Polachek was captivated by her sound: “I have a soft spot for bagpipes: when I hear them, I cry. I’ve played The Reeling to death – so many tears.” That admiration even led to a collaboration.
Enter AB, who embraced her and gave her a spot at our open-air festival Feeërieën (2023), at BRDCST in 2024, and again this autumn in the AB Club for the release of her third album Sunwise, expected this spring and once again featuring a guest appearance by Colin Stetson.
Her inspiration? “My music is rooted in dark Highlands folklore, including seductive men who transform into creatures that drown women, and humans desperate to communicate with birds.” (sic)
What makes her so unique? “She has developed an innovative style on the Scottish smallpipes that emphasises rich textural drones and a trance-like constancy of sound.”
Welcome back, Brìghde!
FOR FANS OF:
Lankum, ØXN, Shovel Dance Collective, John Francis Flynn, Merope, One Leg One Eye, Gwenifer Raymond, ...
