At its center is an unrealized double 7\" from 1996, Battle of Clontarf, named after the bloody battle fought outside Dublin in 1014. Gestures of blistered guitar billow, but underneath a defiant elation prevails. Loren’s partner Suzanne Langille composed and performed the poem in Part II and the song in Part V of the Clontarf sequence. The six pieces are followed by a curated circlet of recordings from around the same period, including the complete 1994 EP The Five Points (originally issued by Table of the Elements) and several other short works from the years surrounding Connors’ notable albums Airs (1999) and Lullaby (2001). These recordings occupy only a few minutes at a time, but manage to convey such vulnerability. Each seems to find its way toward the next, like a chain of small amulets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore from \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/loren-connors\"\u003eLoren Connors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COMETS · CAFÉ \u0026 DISQUES","offers":[{"title":"Pre-order LP","offer_id":66009946194269,"sku":"Catalogue number: R113LP (Pre-order: Disponibilité Novembre 2026, Limited Edition of 300)","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/8406\/4861\/files\/LorenConnors_BattleofClontarf.jpg?v=1790196982","url":"https:\/\/www.cafecomets.fr\/en\/products\/loren-connors-battle-of-clontarf","provider":"COMETS · CAFÉ \u0026 DISQUES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
