about

Icarus Girl is the debut album by Siobhan McCrudden.
Released world-wide on 7 December 2018 on hungersleep records.

Noted as ‘One to watch’ by NewSoundWales, Siobhan McCrudden’s voice has been described as ‘fragile, pure and hugely distinctive’. Siobhan crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions. The result is a hauntingly nostalgic and elemental set of alluring narratives and exquisitely melancholic songs that defy any one particular genre and entrance the listener through their spell-binding beauty.

‘Icarus Girl’ is carefully arranged and produced by acclaimed art-rock musician GRICE who has infused the songs with his subtle yet distinctive instrumentation. The result is something beautifully incandescent and timeless.

'Siobhan McCrudden really does have a voice of great intensity and beauty' NewSoundWales

‘music from the morning mist at the edge of a wood’ From the Margins

‘Absolutely beautiful ... just stunning, the voice is something else’ Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

lyrics

Cassiopeia's Chair

I buried my heart deep
Beneath the line of snow
And when the thaw had passed
It didn’t want to know

And all the children came
Their laughter sweet as spring
My heart slept on and on
and never heard a thing

It dreamed of you

Asleep I heard
A melody
With eyes of violet blue
That ribbon like
As I awoke
Went slipping out of view

But on the breeze
I heard again
The song of everything
It laid the stars
Upon the earth
Like gifts before a king

And at Cassiopeia’s chair
I fell into the air
And found you everywhere

Now I’ve been digging deep
Beneath the earth and stone
To find my heart had gone
And left me all alone

But rising like a dream
I finally understand
Here beneath the apple tree
Fruit falls into my hand

And still I dream of you
