First single ‘Fear The Night’ off the upcoming FoldingLights EP “Exiles”, begins with a simple acoustic guitar and soulful vocal followed by driving electric guitars with pounding drums and bass to awaken the senses and cleanse the soul. This is heart abandoned, honest art, reflected here both sonically and lyrically.
Michael Peter Ball is the artist behind FoldingLights. Taking musical influences from fellow Irish bands like The Frames, Snow Patrol and Foy Vance, Michael writes about faith, love, death and everything in between.
The intensity of his songs are born from the tension of the sometimes bleak, yet ever beautiful Irish landscape. He is equally at home performing on the stages of music venues around his native Belfast as he is leading worship in his home church.
FoldingLights is an artist capable of creating a soundscape worthy of audience escapism. If you catch a show them you may understand why.
