“There is rhythm in the sadness; there is rhythm in the sod”
Grown from the boggy outcrop of the Muskerry Gaeltacht, Leevy are finding
beauty and madness in the harshest corners of the Irish psyche.
Leevy’s debut album ‘Baile Mhúirne or The Soldiers March the Paps of Anú’
encapsulates the songs and sounds the band have honed through relentless
gigging in recent years; from tales of sacrificial burnings at wakes, to forlorn
songs of loss and the death of the natural world, Leevy’s debut release dances
around the threshold of this world and the next.
With a sound that can roar with pounding drums, banjos, whistles, and heavy
guitars or can just as easily sway with beautiful folk arrangements and
harmonies that tie their raucous performance to tradition and culture.
