Just some lost pineapple in this lost world

Saul Behan-Dunne is a songwriter from South East Gippsland in Victoria Australia with previous releases under the guise of The Sigh Company.

Debuting in 2011 with Songs in Silence, The Sigh Co. took us on a blissful sonic journey with an eclectic bunch of instrumental tracks, meditative and soothing, that continue to find new listeners. 

The follow up album ‘Dark’ was a moodier affair. Thematically, the album seems to be a statement about the Wests appetite for war, but to Saul Behan-Dunne, it is a cry out against the abuse of power in all human relations. A bug bear of his which provides much of the undercurrent on this his latest release The Termite Cathedral. 

Songs such as ‘Bali’ (the loss of a loved one via the Bali Bombings)
and ‘You Were the One’ (a song about partner violence) expose the searing pain caused by the human desire to dominate others. 

Sounds weighty, but the album is a joy to listen to, its an emotionally charged recording culminating in two love songs: the sultry ‘Summerlong’ and soulful ‘Run into your arms’ closing out the album.

Saul Behan-Dunne finds expression in his careful choice of words combined with an artful and meticulous layering of sound. The Termite Cathedral delivers songs that can surprise, with moments of simplicity and complexity combining seamlessly.
