Pippa Molony is a musician who creates work in various genres, but it is mostly electronic/experimental in nature. Pippa collaborates frequently with prolific Irish producer Rory Sweeney, and is set to follow up her first single, a dark ethereal ambient track - 'Angels' - with the release of her debut EP, 'Hungry Ghost', in the coming months.
The upcoming EP (Hungry Ghost) features six tracks inspired by stories from Irish folklore, dreams, the natural world, self and spirituality. Each track offers forward thinking, experimental electronic production by Sweeney and Molony, paired with otherworldly dream-like vocals. The EP is about consumption. The Hungry Ghost, in Tibetan Buddhism, is a being who roams the earth always eating but never feeling full.
“Having established herself as a filmmaker working with the likes of Aby Coulibaly, Ahmed, With love., EFÉ and more, Pippa Molony is making her first step into sharing music of her own. Her debut single ‘Angels’, is produced by Rory Sweeney and lands alongside a video made in collaboration with Cormac Campbell and Cian McCarthy.
Ambient, folk and electronic coalesce in the new cut, with Pippa’s vocals running parallel to the instrumental’s gradual release. Pulling inspiration from old folklore, the video for ‘Angels’ is the result of hours of digging through Dúchas.” - Dylan Murphy, District Magazine, December 2023.
