Grounds for Invasion<\/a> is a collaboration between Willow Sea<\/a> (Willy O’Connor; music) and newcomer Tracy Friel (lyrics, vocals), of Galway, Ireland.<\/p>\n

They initially met through college radio – he was helping her record live sessions – but their musical partnership didn’t really blossom until he heard her sing a Bo Diddley song at an open mic night, and thought it might be fun to have her add some vocals to some tracks he had been working on. <\/p>\n

The results of that experiment are the five songs on Grounds for Invasion’s self-titled EP. <\/p>\n

Willow Sea, left to his own devices, makes mellow, contemplative music<\/a>. Grounds For Invasion, while still pretty chill, falls further down both the darker and poppier ends of the musical spectrum.<\/p>\n

For example: Dance Alone<\/i>, which is a wistful memoir of clubbing that you could do a swirly-girly-gothy interpretive dance to, if you wanted.
