about

Taken from the forthcoming second album "No Simple Highway" by Cork based eclective SomeRiseSomeFall "Swansea" features guests Rowan - a talented trio of multi-instrumentalists creating melodramatic indie- folk soaked in sophisticated vocal harmonies as they interpret the Joanna Newsom song (via Bombay Bicyle Club). Rowan are currently commanding a great deal of attention for their symphonic indie-anthems. The band have supported internationally renowned artists such as Badly Drawn Boy, Duke Special, Brian Deady, Hamsandwich and many more.

The band's has earned international recognition as they were nominated for an IMA award, judged by Robert Smith, Tom Waits, Roberta Flack and many others, with their song ‘Big Wave’. The band were also rewarded the ‘Colin Vearncombe’ Songwriting award.

All proceeds go to support the carit Cork Penny Dinners

The individual members of the band have worked with world renowned artists such as Ariel Posen, The Stunning, Little Hours, The Frank and Walters, Toucan and many others, performing to crowds of thousands in some instances.

Rowan's harmoniously rich compositions are laden with melodies that bring the listener to a familiar place with a tasteful twist of their own nature.

Their acute and lucid sound is a melange of indie & folk, a melodic style

reminiscent of Arcade Fire, Bombay Bicycle Club and Keane.

Following the success of their 2 last singles 'Big Wave' and 'Moonlight', and after a mini tour in Ireland, UK, Toronto and New York up until February, the band are set to release their second EP 'No One Is Safe Here' in November.

lyrics

If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night

How I would love to gnaw
To gnaw on your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Into the wild, wild night

How I D-Twain (Repeat)

If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
