Lonesome Sway

Lonesome Sway is Rob Moloney's adaptation of his own score for Luke Murphy's contemporary dance show, Volcano. This emotive, dynamic and beautifully recorded album combines lush string trio arrangements with elements of post-rock, noise and poetry to explore themes of isolation, fleeting moments of intimacy, and failing to make sense of the world. Throughout the album, Moloney endeavours to perforate the melancholic haze with delicate moments of beauty alongside eruptions of a long-restrained explosive energy.

Performed by: Christine Kenny (violin), Lisa Dowdall (viola), Yseult Cooper Stockdale (cello), Brian Dillon (piano), Isaac Finken (drums), Gina Moxley (voice), Caitríona Finnegan (cello - Disintegration), Rob Moloney (vocals, guitar, bass, electronics, percussion).
