Norabelle are an acoustic minimalist folk duo from Dundalk consisting of Ken Clarke (Guitar & Vocals) and Shane O’Hanrahan (Guitar, Vocals and Piano). They play steady melodic folk music with delicate pick guitar and harmonized vocals. They have recently recorded their debut EP titled “Come The Bluest Dawn” which has been received very well both in the UK (released through Static Caravan Records) and in Ireland (released independently). The EP features 4 songs: Still, Pins & Needles, Underpass and Lemon. Their influences include Sun Kil Moon, Bonnie Prince Billy, Red House Painters, Lambchop, Smog, Bill Callahan and many, many more.
Press Clippings of Wren:
"Musically, it’s hushed cello and sparse piano, and if you think more along the lines of the similarly musically hued Adrian Crowley or Bill Callahan, you’ll have some idea of the elegance on display here." (The Ticket)
"For Norabelle, simplicity is key, their tender harmonies icing a cake of delicate acoustic guitar, piano, cello and percussion. There's a beauty to Gregarious Bird and Wren that is truly breathtaking". (Hotpess)
