Second Motion Records signs acclaimed singer-songwriter GEMMA HAYES!

Gemma Hayes
Press Release

On September 30th, Second Motion will release the third album by the Mercury Prize nominated artist Gemma Hayes 'THE HOLLOW OF MORNING'

Six years, two albums, the highs of critical accolades and the lows of doubt and exhaustion have all led this Dublin, Ireland native, Gemma Hayes to this her third album 'Hollow Of Morning' and with another roll of the dice, the ingénue of old days has grown and morphed into an experienced songwriter; and also a woman who has surveyed her career to date and decided to go her own way. Independent in every sense.

Co-produced by long time cohort and collaborator David Odlum, who worked with Gemma on her Mercury nominated debut, 'Night On My Side', 'Hollow of Morning' is a ten track filigree of melody and subtle harmonic rhythms. Recorded in Los Angeles, the album is the perfect hybrid of Odlum and Hayes with the sunlit sparkle of California. Guests include: Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) on guitar and Paul Noonan (Bell X1) on drums. "Hollow of Morning" also debuted at #12 in the Irish Charts first week of release.

Check back here for more details about the release of "Hollow of Morning" in the coming weeks including a special pre-order with unreleased tracks and exclusive material only available on Second Motion.
