‘Dream
From
The
Deep
Well’
is
the
new
album
from
celebrated
Irish
singer
songwriter
Brigid
Mae
Power.
Recognised
as
a
purveyor
of
dreamier
pop
with
folky
leanings,
this
new
album
is
a
departure;
a
unique
marriage
of
traditional
stylings
and
very
modern
melodies;
a
breath-taking
soundtrack
which
underpins
her
gorgeous
vocal.
Filled
with
personal
tales
of
offspring
and
grandparents,
the
lovelorn
and
the
lost,
it’s
the
essence
of
re-imagined
folk
music,
from
the
traditional
intro
and
outro
that
act
as
bookends.
It’s
folk
music,
but
not
as
we
know
it.
In
these
ever-confusing
and
often
annoying
times,
Brigid
brings
us
modern
folk
for
modern
folk,
with
her
evocative
vocal,
doubling
back
on
itself
with
strings,
steel
guitar,
horns
and
mellotron
adding
to
its
baroque
loveliness.
It’s
waving
back
at
her
rootsy
past,
daubing
new
colours
on
a
much-loved
canvas.
‘Dream
From
The
Deep
Well’
is
a
new
visionary
beginning
from
a
gifted
songwriter.
Elsewhere,
there’s
the
lovelorn
longing
of
her
version
of
Tim
Buckley’s
‘I
Must
Have
Been
Blind’,
alongside
a
moving
tribute
to
the
late
Ashling
Murphy,
a
23-year-old
Irish
primary
school
teacher
and
traditional
Irish
musician
who
was
attacked
and
killed
while
jogging
along
the
Grand
Canal
just
outside
Tullamore,
County
Offaly.
It's
a
harrowing
story,
delivered
with
overwhelming
compassion.
In
the
best
tradition
of
old
school
folk
music,
it
opens
up
a
pressing
issue
to
a
wider
audience.
It's
an
album
that’s
politically
primed
and
socially
aware;
a
broadside
for
us
all,
this
is
Brigid
Mae
Power’s
most
complete
album
yet.
