Music:

Sentire Entertainment is a new kind of organization. It has come together as a natural answer to the changes that have affected the entertainment industry and is composed of a group of individuals who work behind the scenes, supporting and encouraging artists, providing cohesion between all the “moving parts” through communication, artist representation, booking and internet marketing. We feel that quality over quantity is key, hence the first artist we have chosen to present is none other than Fionn O Lochlainn. Please read on to find out more about this artist here.

Fionn O Lochlainn

Brit / Anglo Irish artist Fionn O Lochlainn delivers a vast, guitar driven sound, reminiscent of greats such as Led Zeppelin, early Bowie or Pink Floyd but with a current originality that draws the listener in to a world of acoustic rock ‘n’ roll. With multiple instruments including acoustic guitar, piano and mandola, he converges ethereal textures with melodic dreamlike evocative vocals.

O Lochlainn captures the insurgence of ‘Brit Rock’ but with haunting and enigmatic songs, prone to introspection and heavy blues. Either performing solo or with full-blown outfit, O Lochlainn flaunts a formidable talent that has received critical acclaim from both sides of the Atlantic.

The extended ‘official’ edition of his satirically titled debut ‘Spawn of the Beast’ is now available on CD and will be released via iTunes and other major online stores April ’08. O Lochlainn has been asked to showcase SXSW festival in Austin, Texas this year and will perform at one of the city’s most potentialy atmospheric venues – St. David’s Church at 11.30pm on March 12th ‘08.

We could delight you for hours with our apraisal of his work but we decided to present some quotes from people who have taken the time to listen to him.

“A big rock-influenced sound and an equally substantial artistic statement using only traditional, acoustic instruments and keening, crystalline vocals.” ~ Jon Sobel, Blogcritics.

“Lovely, lyrical, spiritual, a joy to listen to” ~ Howard Zinn

“It is a great example of using acoustic instruments in a very energetic context. Very refreshing and exciting” ~ Andy Wallace (Legendary producer of Jeff Buckley)

“When Fionn played “Waterside” live in the studio for our radio show, he left everyone in the room breathless. His voice is incredibly pure and always soulful. An amazing performer, songwriter, and recording artist.” ~ Mark Sutton, NPR Producer

“magic writing, magic playing, magic album” ~ Billy Bragg

“We are pretty damn impressed, dreamy strumming and crunchy riffs, moody arrangements and vocals running the gamut from fey introspection to glammy braggadocio.” ~ Time Out NYC

“Truly hypnotic voice” ~ Teenpeople

“An incredible voice and masterful guitar playing” ~ Coolfer

“‘Spawn of the Beast’ is an album for our times and for the people who can still feel and think for themselves. It is an album that can touch your heart because it is written from the same depth in which it reaches. With beautiful arrangements and instrumentation, “Spawn of the Beast” is a soulfully written and performed gift of music to the world”. ~ One Heart Books
