Folk band Beoga have released a new five-track EP called Breathe, and have announced a live online concert on Saturday 17th April from The Limelight, Belfast.
Beoga formed in Kerry in 2002 during the All-Ireland Fleadh, although the original four members of the band hail from Northern Ireland.
The band thrive on approaching Irish traditional music differently, whether that’s on production or by mixing genres, and Breathe continues with that same adventurous spirit.
The EP opens with Origins, a reflective air symbolising the hopes of a new year and new beginnings, featuring delicate piano and lush string lines amidst a pensive melody on accordion.
Disarray has darker, grungier textures with distorted electric guitars, drums and synth, followed by Fired, a meditation on climate change and the human role within it.
Breathe closes out the EP.
