The Exchange, 21st October 2022
Sinead O’Brien have embarked on their UK tour with a show at Bristol’s Exchange next week
With a background on the design teams for John Galliano and, later, Vivienne Westwood, it’s no surprise that raven-haired O’Brien’s cultural touchstones also span a rich history of art, photography, film, dance and movement: from Helmut Newton femme fatales and Henri Cartier-Bresson’s bleak landscapes to modern performance by Michael Clark, to the writings of Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett. Recently also tapped by Gucci to perform, Sinead released her debut album Time Bend and Break The Bower in June. Communing at the triangulation of words, music and image, O’Brien has always conjured powerful worlds: but none more powerful, or as immersive, than on her debut record.
