The strangeness of all of this
I've taken to washing the messages 
I wash 
and I wish 
and I watch
The strangeness of all of this
The news was very sad at six
I wash 
And I wish
And I watch
The strangeness of all of this
I meet the odd mini bliss
I wash
And I wish
And I watch
- Lisa O'Neill

Lisa O’Neill is a songwriter like no other. Her roots may be sourced in folk and traditional music but her work opens up a landscape beyond any settled sense of genre.  On her last album, Heard a long gone song, she sets her remarkable incisive voice against impressionistic instrumental back-drops, like Margaret Barry colluding with the Dirty Three or some such meeting of minds. Lisa’s latest release on the Rough Trade imprint River Lea,  ‘Heard A Long Gone Song’ has garnered huge acclaim both at home and abroad.
