Mccrudden, Siobhan
Icarus Girl
Noted as One to watch by NewSoundWales, Siobhan McCruddens voice has been described as fragile, pure and hugely distinctive. Raised in London to parents with Scottish and Irish roots, Cardiff-based singer songwriter McCrudden, crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions. Siobhans early performances found her on the coffee house circuit of New York. From these beginnings she went on to play larger gigs both in America and at home, performing at festivals and folk clubs. Icarus Girl is carefully arranged and produced by acclaimed artrock musician GRICE who has infused the songs with his subtle yet distinctive instrumentation. The album features musical contributions by a few select musicians including Steve Bingham (No-Man, Judy Dyble) on violin, who complete the blend bringing an understated warmth and intricacy to the album.
