Brian Brody & The Ghost Ensemble is the brainchild of Dublin songwriter Brody, and classical composer Simon Quigley. Join them for a full performance of their new album Anima Animus, due for release on May 1st 2025.
Brian and The Ghost Ensemble believe the songs on their new album, Anima Animus represent the masculine and feminine that each person possesses within them. The album provokes and entices the listener to relate to and let go of any shackles that restrict them to feelings that perhaps are locked away due to unknown reasons.
With a cinematic approach to the song writing and composition, each song on the album takes a very visual stance, inviting the listener to get to know characters in songs like Painting Skies, the lovelorn artist painter involved in his own ghost story, or the girl in the Italian sung song Solo lei lo Sa, the almost mystical story of a girl who dances with the sun and the moon. Songs can take a darker turn, such as This Hell I Roam, the story of a man living homeless, and the struggles he faces from moment to moment living on the streets.
The album takes many twists and turns, and with its lush lyrical and musical endeavour, Brian and the ensemble invite you to embrace the story telling on the album and with some hope, the listener can understand the Anima and Animus that lies within us all.
