There's a wonderful Brìghde Chaimbeul's album 'Sunwise' review in Full Moon Magazine:
"Brìghde confidently oscillates between the past and the present, introducing the voice of her Gaelic ancestors to a wider audience.
She transports us to an untouched landscape far from the Anthropocene, both physical and mental."

Širom are "Album of the Month" at the Italian magazine Rumore.

"Širom possesses the gift (innate but tenaciously cultivated) of knowing how to make the archaic and the archetypal (like Lankum, for example) extremely modern, and that is enough to sustain their magic." 85/100

"Širom have embraced their own mortality and are carried by the night wind, floating ever so softly into the imaginations of listeners worldwide." 82%

"This is music to escape the urban deserts that suffocate us—inside and out. A song of peace and hope, of kinship with flora and fauna. It is both elegy and anthem for a wild world, where wordless voices still endure, pulsing within us despite all the futile rags of progress we try to wear." 8,5/10

"On Angel, ancient melodies resurrected from centuries ago remain engaging and intriguing, allowing the past to echo in the present. As folk music studies circulated melodies, musicians interpreted them with fresh perspectives. Hafana illustrates how strongly they can resound.” - The Quietus

A gorgeous and powerful meeting of music and image, Širom have just premiered a video for "Curls Upon the Neck, Ribs Upon the Mountain," a track taken from their mesmerizing new album "In the Wind of Night, Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper." (out tomorrow!)

To create the video for the track, Širom enlisted the Slovenian filmmaker Tit Brecelj, making it a continuation of the collaboration they started with the 2017 documentary film Širom -Memoryscapes.

For the theme of the video, Širom envisioned capturing people performing ancient crafts, tasks that have been carried out for centuries, linked by manual labour and a deep harmony with the natural world. Set against the dusk of summer evenings, Tit filmed Primož Bizjan stoking a fire and Sebastjan Gršak forging metal. By embracing both intuition and spontaneity, the team produced an evocative film that resonates surprisingly with the title of their forthcoming album "In the Wind of Night, Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper".

"Curls Upon the Neck, Ribs Upon the Mountain" draws upon the trio’s individual and collective experiences and thoughts. The homemade bass harp and the Mongolian stringed instrument morin khuur, which Širom are using for the first time, emerge strong from the intricate instrumental mosaic. The whisper is faint within the interplay of the band’s formidable array of instruments; but once you hear it, it cannot remain unheard.
