Adrian Crowley, The Abbey Theatre 14th & 15th September

Adrian Crowley releases his new album I See Three Birds Flying next month and has lined up a pair of launch gigs in The Abbey Theatre for Friday 14th & Saturday 15th September.

I See Three Birds Flying is the majestic and arresting sixth album from Adrian Crowley. Co-produced with long standing studio comrade, Stephen Shannon, it’s the follow up to 2009’s Choice Music Prize winning Season of the Sparks and heralds a new found confidence for the Irishman as he delivers a deeply contemplative, impossibly rich addition to an already impressive body of work.

With many of the vocals captured in the first take, there’s a palpable immediacy to these recordings that compliments the assuredness of the playing. Performing on an array of instruments ranging from the marxophone, mellotron, baby grand piano, electric guitar and omnichord, Crowley mixes the arcane and the curious with present day technology to weave a perfect backdrop for his fertile story-telling.
