Vyvienne Long announces tour

Punters will get a sneak preview of her Serenade For Caterpillars album.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 31 Mar 2009

Vyvienne Long takes the songs from her upcoming Serenade For Caterpillars album “for a walk” when she descends on Cleere’s Theatre, Kilkenny (April 16); The Belltable, Limerick (17); Crane Lane, Cork (18); St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, Galway (23) and The Village, Dublin (25).

Best-known for her cello work with Damien Rice, Long is currently enjoying primetime TV exposure courtesy of ‘Happy Thoughts’ – supposedly the album’s ‘secret bonus cut’ – soundtracking the new EasiSingles TV advert.

Despite the product association, it’s anything but cheesy and suggests that Vyvienne is set for a successful post-Damo solo career a la Lisa Hannigan.

Birdtalk

So far best known as Damien Rice’s cello player and the provider of quirky cover versions, Long could well be a star waiting to happen. Birdtalk is a good place to start. The EP’s lead track ‘They’re Not Waving’ tries to balance drama and pop and nearly succeeds, while ‘Never Leave You’ has a downbeat, almost rap feel. While the two cover versions included (Pharrell Williams’ ‘He Wants To Move’ and the Flaming Lips’ ‘Yoshimi’) are both great, you still feel that they’ll still end up overshadowing Long’s own material, which would be a shame.
