“Sometimes the human voice is all you need, communicating something essential about our drive to exist together as a species, to sound our internal worlds in union, at volume” – The Guardian

The Irish quartet Landless consists of Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton and Sinéad Lynch. They found each other on Dublin’s traditional singing scene and, since 2013, have been creating exquisite harmonies together as they interpret ancient Irish ballads as well as more recent folk songs from a variety of sources. The quartet’s sound is at once captivating, dark and majestic.

In 2018, Landless released their critically acclaimed debut album Bleaching Bones. In 2024, they followed it with Lúireach, which was also met with great enthusiasm. The album is filled with quiet power, featuring traditional songs about melancholy, love, death and mystery, performed in fresh and unexpected ways, sometimes with instrumental accompaniment.

Many of the songs on the album tell stories of bold women who challenge the passive female archetype often found in traditional songs.

“It is refreshing to find songs that challenge this power dynamic, but we are not totally hard-line about it, and sing plenty of old-fashioned love songs,” says Ruth Clinton of the quartet.

Look forward to songs about both courage and devotion – and, not least, a spine-tingling experience – when Landless comes to ALICE with their captivating, moving and powerful sound.

Kvartetten Landless tryllebinder publikum med tindrende smukke vokalharmonier, når de vækker århundrede gamle irske folkesange til live på ALICE. Koncerten er præsenteret i samarbejde med Final Descent.

Den irske kvartet Landless består af Lily Power, Méabh Meir, Ruth Clinton og Sinéad Lynch. De fandt hinanden på Dublins traditionelle vokalscene og har siden 2013 skabt udsøgte harmonier sammen, når de har fortolket gamle irske ballader såvel som nyere folkesange fra forskellige kilder. Kvartettens lyd er på én gang tryllebindende, mørk og storladen.

I 2018 udgav Landless det kritikerroste debutalbum “Bleaching Bones” og i 2024 udkom opfølgeren “Lúireach”, der ligeledes er blevet modtaget med stor begejstring. Det er et album fyldt med stille kraftfuldhed, hvor traditionsrige sange om melankoli, kærlighed, død og mystik bliver sunget på nye og overraskende måder og indimellem med instrumentalt akkompagnement. Mange af sangene på albummet handler om dristige kvinder, som bryder med den passive, kvindelige arketype, man ellers finder i mange traditionelle sange. “It is refreshing to find songs that challenge this power dynamic, but we are not totally hard-line about it, and sing plenty of old-fashioned love songs”, udtaler Ruth Clinton fra kvartetten. Se frem til sange om både mod og hengivenhed – og ikke mindst en gåsehudsfremkaldende oplevelse – når Landless gæster ALICE med deres fængslende, bevægende og kraftfulde lyd.
