Greta O’Leary - River Dark (Vinyl)
Casting rich spells of self-expression, finding power in softness and inviting listeners deeper into her ethereal world, Tāmaki Makaurau based indie folk artist Greta O’Leary is set to turn heads across Aotearoa with her astonishing debut album River Dark.
Greta writes with a clarity of vision, making introspective observations that seamlessly interlock with her enthralling and tender songcraft. Through soaring instrumentation, astute and occasionally absurd lyrics of self-reflection and her poignant voice, River Dark is a remarkable collection of confession, truth and poetry. A peculiar ride through Greta’s signature tongue-in-cheek songwriting and nostalgic, vivid lyricism, the album is also an enthralling display of the artist seamlessly dipping her toes into a new sound.
The record was created alongside producer Jol Mulholland (all the Finns) at The Lab, with Greta's hypnotic songwriting and unmistakable vocals accentuated through the skilful musicianship of Anita Clark (Motte, Don McGlashan), Cass Basil (The Veils, Tiny Ruins), Alastair Deverick (Boycrush)and Callum Passells (LCR, Aldous Harding).
"My first record, a collection of personal, ridiculous and truth telling songs. It took a long time to get here. I was a child shy and unclear, completely confused, absolutely not onboard with future, with goals or activity. I was in the field below the house, I was at the pond with the dog, I played make believe longer than most. I was taught to be quiet".

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
