Fresh off 2018’s collection Heard a Long Song Gone for the River Lea imprint, The Wren EP in 2019 and an adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “All the Tired Horses” for the final scene of epic TV drama Peaky Blinders, O’Neill now returns with her latest album, and first for the Rough Trade label, the beautiful, resonant All Of This Is Chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raconteur in the truest sense of the word, every story starts somewhere and O’Neill starts this extraordinary collection here on earth, on Irish soil, hands in the land. The album is full of both or- chestral masterpieces like the ambitious and cinematic “Old Note”, inspired by the great Monaghan writer Patrick Kavanagh’s prescient meditation on The Great Hunger as well as stirring meditations on nature, birds, berries, bees, and blood that ring out over a clacking banjo, dusting and devastating all those in its wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Of This Is Chance takes Lisa’s inimitable voice to greater heights, or depths, depending on which way you look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e02\/10\/2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cstrong\u003eRTUS-356\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e191402035612\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eLisa O'Neill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cb\u003eRough Trade Us\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Matador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40502481649725,"sku":"POP-O-191402035612","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/191402035612.jpg?v=1675805330"},{"product_id":"lisa-oneill-the-wind-doesnt-blow-this-far-right","title":"Lisa O'Neill - The Wind Doesn't Blow This Far Right [12\" Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRough Trade Records are excited to today share the new 6 track EP by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eLisa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e’\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eNeill\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis EP is comprised of a group of six tracks, they include\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eLisa\u003c\/span\u003e’s haunting rendition of Bob Dylan’s ‘All The Tired Horses’ recorded to soundtrack the closing scene of the final episode of Peaky Blinders, plus ‘Homeless In The Thousands (Dublin in the Digital Age)’ featuring Peter Doherty, which was released as a stand-alone single in January of this year. It was not the first time\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eO\u003c\/span\u003e’\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eNeill\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas written about social injustices on the cusp of a change.  Songs like ‘Rock the Machine’ about unemployment in the Dublin dock lands, ‘When Cash Was King’ about the move to a cashless society and ‘Violet Gibson’ about the Irish woman who attempted to assassinate Mussolini in 1926.
