As demonstrated on the album, Danu are a resolutely acoustic yet freewheeling Irish traditional ensemble. Their arrangements are often crowned by treble fiddle lines typical of the early Chieftains, but their rhythmic attack, while precisely marked, is less literal and periodically side-swiped by playful bursts of syncopation. Lead singer Ciaran O Gealbhain is a revelation. His vocals, whether in Irish and English, are haunted by ancient sean nos, but also recall The Incredible String Band and the naive sophistication of Brady and Irvine's nonpareil 'purple album'.
