Krea – The Callows EP
Debut EP from Karen Cowley (Wyvern Lingo) who is on tour around Ireland in July and August. Bandcamp
“The Callows are the flat grasslands along the Shannon, and the word comes from the Irish “Caladh” for meadow. My mother is from Shannonbridge, Co. Offaly, where I spent a lot of time as a child. There’s something really tranquil and ancient about the landscape there. I wrote ‘The Callows’ at a time where I was feeling unmoored and craving a stronger sense of identity and rootedness. Images of this beautiful part of the country kept coming to mind, particularly the view from where my grandparents are buried at Clonmacnoise Monastery along the river. The Irish landscape and the effect that it has on me comes into each of these songs in some way, so I wanted to acknowledge that in some way in the title and artwork.”
