Irish spoken-word artist Sinead O'Brien: I don’t want to be comfortable – I want to be shaken

"I don’t like the idea of being settled. I find it very hard to imagine permanence in any way, and I can’t really get to grips with why. I have a deep need to keep myself alert, and to make sure I’m seeing all the time. I always have to find these ways of uprooting myself and disturbing my life path” - Dublin-born London-based spoken-word and post-punk artist Sinead O'Brien tells NME in an interview. She has released singles so far - watch 'A Thing Called Joy' below.
