The stark, haunting "Go Easy" from dark dream pop songstress Chirpy

Chirpy  (the moniker of Rebecca Shannon) - singer songwriter / producer from Dublin, Ireland crafts kind of dark dream pop / folk and, in fact, the opening to Go Easy feels like gothic rock (ala Metallica) but when the song opens up with Shannon's somber yet beautiful vocal performance the song flows down dark rivers. With the subtle piano keys and vast guitar lead the song also takes on an almost baroque horror pop sound as well. It is all complex within the stark production resulting in a truly haunting sound. Go Easy is from her self titled "Chirpy" EP. Her debut EP entitled "Real Life" released last summer blew up on Irish I Tunes download charts. No wonder.
