BIO

Fears is London-based Irish artist, musician and producer 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.

Gaining a reputation for engaging and immersive live shows, highlights include performances at Other Voices, Body & Soul, Quarter Block Party, Ireland Music Week, and concerts alongside Girls Names, Epicycle and Carla dal Forno. 

Fears has received significant acclaim across Ireland and the UK, where her music has been covered by Noisey, Huck Magazine, BBC Arts, the Irish independent & Nialler9. She has been regularly played on NTS, BBC and RTÉ radio, and was selected for Moving on Music's Emerging Artist Programme 2019.

“[h_always is] a slow-burning pop creation, her sugary, semi-whispered vocals floating over minimal guitar plucks and an electronic heartbeat. It almost sounds like a lullaby, to herself” - Noisey

“There’s something otherworldly about Constance Keane, and her solo project, Fears…Fears is coming out of the shadows more and more, and anticipation is rising for more of those tenebrous melodies, and it seems like Keane is ready and waiting to haunt the music scene with her melancholic and dark tones” - The Thin Air

Fears - Oíche

Fears releases her debut album, Oíche on 12th March 2021, via TULLE.

Oíche, meaning ‘night’ in Irish, was recorded in three bedrooms, hospital, and most recently in the Domino Recordings studio in Brixton.

Pieced together over five years, Oíche chronicles growth through challenges, instability, and relationship changes, both with one’s self and others.

An intimate depiction of discovery, Oíche unearths internal dialogue, and makes peace with uncertainty.

Recorded by Constance Keane and Katie O’Neill.
