CALMEA

I know now I didn’t know, what it meant to really go is Eunice Saraiva’s (frontwoman of Dublin band of all living things) debut self-released EP under her solo moniker Calmea. Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, Eunice has been living and making music in Ireland for 5 years. While still releasing and performing with the band, she is now undertaking a more personal and gentle approach to her music. Calmea is a made-up word, similar to the Portuguese adjective ‘calma’, meaning to be relaxed and at peace. This alias felt fitting due to the ambient folk, ethereal and textural sound Eunice created in this EP, alongside sound engineer, and producer, Ber Quinn. She draws inspiration from acts such as Cassandra Jenkins, Indigo Sparke and Sea Oleena.
