Description
Conchúr White, a singer - songwriter from County Armagh, says, 'I like surreal settings, but with tangible messages.' His debut album, Swirling Violets, released in January 2024 via Bella Union, masterfully blends the dreamy and the real. It's an allusive, intimate album that's both otherworldly and easy to connect with. White touches on deep themes gracefully, offering a richly imagined musical experience.
As White puts it, there's no set theme, but the songs share a surreal space. There are elements of ghosts, other worlds, a cosmic feeling, and questions about beginnings, ends, and dreams, alongside simple love songs about young infatuation.
The album features collaborations with Matt Wiggins (mixing), producers Kris Platt and Danny Morgan Ball, and co - writer/producer Iain Archer on 'Swirling Violets'. Brendan Jenkinson produced the closing track, 'Deadwood', a peaceful journey under the summer moonlight. Swirling Violets is an enchanting magic - realist album that invites you to float along with White.
