Selkie Skin

Invisible Cities

A Hungry Mouth
To mould and change
A crackling earth
Delt in chains

Heed the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under a yawning sky 
fated to amend

Broken means
But to what end?
Call it growth 
Call this a friend?

Heed the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under a yawning sky fated to amend

The waiting sky 
The scramble above the torrent
Wade through night
The hope, heavy on us
Do we fold or can we begin to make whole?

Holy work
Let me know how
to build and not destroy

Oh the warning cry
Almost at the edge
Under yawning sky fated to amend

The waiting sky 
The scramble above the torrent
Wade through night
The cost, heavy on us
Do we fold or can we begin to make whole?

How to build it better make it work?
When the flesh in question cannot help but wither and turn
Questions that are fated to disperse

I can no longer see if this is enough

Is this enough?
To the heart I ask what I need
[Is this enough?]
While the light is falling
[Is this enough?]
To the heart I ask what I leave
While the night is calling
To the heart I ask what I l need
Is this enough?

Wild Geese

Little one can I tell you
of before
a world that was wild and wide and more?
I hold you up my love, that I can show you
This winter sky
Alive with a thousand geese in flight.

The curlew call, the geese that come home
3000 miles in odd weather.
Lapwing, osprey in the sunlit bay
I will try to do better

Little one tight I hold you
point to the sky 
carved up in vs that split the night.
The dark it spills from the marsh, 
it fills the space inside,
the feral body soft and wild

The curlew call, the geese that come home
3000 miles in odd weather.
Lapwing, osprey in the sunlit bay
I will try to do better

The curlew call, the geese that come home
3000 miles in odd weather.
Lapwing, osprey in the sunlit bay
I will try to do better
I will try to do better
I will try to do better

Wild Geese

Slow Place Like Home' is the music of producer/musician Keith Mannion.
Based in the forests of Donegal, in the North-West of Ireland, he has already released a series of EPs and two albums - debut ‘Romola' in 2015 and the critically acclaimed sophomore 'When I See You... Ice Cream!', in 2017.

Having played with Fujiya &Miyagi, Dan Deacon, Squarepusher, Perfume Genius, Day Wave, Ezra Furman, Moodoïd, Prince Rama, Glass Animals and Pantha Du Prince, Mannion has teamed up with Galway's Strange Brew Rekkids and continues to tour his latest album into 2018.

"The projected insularity of Slow Place Like Home has always been a big part of what makes his music so inviting. By expanding that singularity, When I See You… Ice Cream! quietly emerges as one of the Irish albums of the past year, at the very least." - The Quietus.

"Fabulous album from a totally unique talent" - WFMU

"Some songs here you could actually dance to, others are more for spacing out, but there's not a single dud in this collection. This is sweet-tasting ice cream indeed... with sonic sprinkles." - Olaf Tyaransen, Hot Press Magazine.

"One of the finest producers in Ireland and one of my favourite artists anywhere on Earth right now" - Stephen McCauley, BBC Radio 6/ Radio Ulster.

"There’s a firm sense of a musician very close to deserved crossover success." - The Irish Times.

"Based in the rural depths of Donegal, Ireland, SlowPlaceLikeHome is a remarkably unique talent. Drifting wisps of electronics give way to sugar sweet pop melodies, all pieced together with an unerring strangeness. Real name Keith Mannion, the producer/musician's semi-exile from cultural conduits has seemingly allowed him to do exactly as he pleases and it works!" - Clash Magazine.
