Hannigan's much anticipated solo debut Sea Sew will be released February 3 on ATO Records. The album is already in frequent rotation at taste-maker radio station KCRW and has earned early praise from The Los Angeles Times, which calls it "charmingly idiosyncratic."
Hannigan's chance meeting with acclaimed singer-songwriter Damien Rice led to a long period of collaboration and development. From the outset, Hannigan quickly generated attention for her own vocal performances and spent the subsequent few years touring the world, playing sell-out shows at Radio City Music Hall and the Greek Theatre. She contributed significantly to Rice's platinum-selling debut O and critically lauded follow-up 9.
Hannigan wrote songs and performed backing vocals with the Frames and Mic Christopher. She also sang with the legendary Herbie Hancock on the song "Don't Explain" for his Grammy-nominated album Possibilities.
Hannigan, along with a talented band of friends�including Tom Osander on drums, Shane Fitzsimons on double bass, Donagh Molloy on trumpet, melodica and glockenspiel, Gavin Glass on piano, Lucy Wilkins on violin and Vyvienne Long on cello�recorded Sea Sew over 14 days in Dublin. In advance of the album's release, Hannigan has made available the songs "Lille," "Sea Song," "Pistachio" and "I Don't Know" for streaming via her website. "I Don't Know," the first single off Sea Sew, will be released February 2.
