Artist: Conchúr White
Album: Swirling Violets (Bella Union)
Conchúr White previously played with indie-rockers Silences before setting out on his own.
Swirling Violets is his debut solo LP
www.conchurwhite.com Conchúr White, a singer-songwriter hailing from County Armagh in Northern Ireland, released his debut album in January. The appropriately titled SwirlingViolets contains the signature woozy Bella Union sound but with plenty of Conchúr’s own character running through it. “It feels totally new because it’s my first album,” he says. “I’ve been in bands before, without going through that album process, so every facet of this is novel and exciting. It’s great to have the experience.”
