Enya – Dark Sky Island out now

846

Enya’s new album, Dark Sky Island, is now out.

Enya says:

“We take so long to put an album together, that it’s important to us to give ourselves the time in the studio, but this has meant that we had never really/officially taken a break from the studio, a proper break, so when we finished And Winter Came, we felt that it was time to leave the studio for a while”. According to the press release Enya, Nicky and Roma Ryan started working on the album in the spring of 2012. Inspired by Roma’s work on a series of poetry books themed around islands and specifically the island of Sark’s decision to be designated as a dark sky island, the album’s title track was the first song to be written for the collection.

“This album has a theme of journeys,” states Enya. “Journeys to the island; through the length of a lifetime; through history, through emotions; and journeys across great oceans. So although it’s not a ‘themed’ album, as such, we nevertheless have an underlying connection between songs.”
