Album Notes & Community Reviews
Collaborating with Los Angeles-based producers, the Irish family group took a deliberate step toward slick, contemporary AOR production. 'Sirius' heavily synthesizes their traditional Celtic roots, featuring guest appearances from figures like Bruce Hornsby. While polarizing among folk purists, the lushly orchestrated record successfully modernized their ethereal sound for mainstream pop radio.
