Síobhra Quinlan

"Womanchild is from an upcoming song cycle called The Magma Chamber that's due for release next year. That name might give you an indicator of what to expect. It's got Bat for Lashes overtones, for me. Síobhra is an unbelievable singer of chamber-pop and classical music...her voice soars over everything." Eoghan O’Sullivan - The Irish Jam

“Kate Bush vibes” Kealan Duignan - The Irish Jam


“Hot on the heels of Womanchild, this week sees Siobhra Quinlan release Changeling – a further instalment in her forthcoming song-cycle LP ‘The Magma Chamber’. Rooted in art-song, mythology and surrealism, Siobhra’s magnetic voice and chamber-pop style as ever envelopes the listener in iridescent colours, evoking a bewitching realm.” GoldenPlec


“Changeling’ is the second release from Sfiiinx, the musical project of vocalist, composer and producer Síobhra Quinlan…Sfiiinx combines the styles of classical, contemporary and pop to create her own sound. Her debut album, The Magma Chamber, is due for release later this year.” Journal of Music


“Performing under the name sfiiinx, Siobhra Quinlan is a real rarity in Irish music. While she finds her roots in plenty of mythology, using her music to tell spectacular tales, she takes her grounding in classical techniques, straddling the gap between contemporary chamber pop and classical performative arts.” Dublin Gazette


“Quinlan studied music in Trinity College Dublin, majoring in composition under Donnacha Dennehy and Evanglia Rigaki. She began studying classical singing with Veronica Dunne in 2010 and was also involved with Trinity Orchestra as both a classical and a pop vocalist, performing at Electric Picnic, Forbidden Fruit, Christchurch Cathedral and St. Leonard’s Church, London.” Journal of Music


"Taking music to another dream-like world, soprano Siobhra Quinlan’s work transcends the imagination and expectations of the listener. Haunting atmospheres alongside soaring vocals in a wash of reverb-heavy textures are a staple of Quinlan’s beautiful compositional style." – Headstuff.com


"Siobhra Quinlan’s The Shaman for full ensemble sans piano conjured up an atmosphere of ritual, juxtaposing string harmonics and song-like woodwinds alongside recordings of drums and bells underneath a monologue of an interview explaining the nature of shamanism and describing the invisible protagonist. In addition to this, Siobhra herself was singing with the ensemble adding an extra dimension and authenticity to the pleading, longing nature of the music, before the contrapuntal and granular textures subside into more sustained textures." – New Music Journal


"Young Irish composer/vocalist Siobhra Quinlan will also perform the world premiere of a new work for voice and electronics based on W.B.Yeats’ poem ‘That Crazy Girl’ during the New Music Marathon at the Burren College of Art on 28th August." – The Journal of Music
