Fears is Irish artist, musician, producer and dressmaker Constance Keane. Combining reflective electronics, acoustic samples, and haunting vocals with organic visuals, Fears invites the listener on an ethereal journey, blurring the boundaries between music and visual art. Her minimalist approach centres on emotive subjects, which are all-at-once deeply personal yet remarkably universal.
Her debut album ‘Oíche’ was released on May 7th, 2021 on new label TULLE. Oíche, meaning “night” in Irish, was recorded and produced in three bedrooms, a hospital, and completed in the Domino Recordings studio in Brixton, London. Pieced together over five years, the album chronicles growth through challenges, instability and relationship changes, both with one’s self and others. Unearthing internal dialogues to make peace with uncertainty.
Keane has also composed the music for The Druthaib’s Ball - winner of 2021's acclaimed Turner Prize by Array Collective.
Clash Music said of Oíche: "Emotionally stirring, musically diverse and breathtakingly honest" (8/10)
Get In Her Ears: "an intuitive artist who transforms her darkest moments into graceful electronic soundscapes"
