Niall Mc Guigan – New Album – Spiritual Anarchy

Following the successful release of Niall’s debut album “Awareness” (2017), and his live album Niall Mc Guigan & Friends live at St. Ann’s Church Dublin with the SUSO Gospel Choir (2019) Niall releases his new studio album “Spiritual Anarchy” for August 2019.
Recorded with Ben Reel at Drumill Lane Studio’s in South Armagh Ireland, the album is a continuation on the theme of his first album, describing the process of self-inquiry, awareness, and self-discovery.

The title “Spiritual Anarchy” describes the resulting breakdown of our psychological belief systems, mental concepts, religious, social and political dogma when we begin to deeply question and see through our illusions, aligning constantly with truth and integrity.
The musical style is a return to Niall’s rock roots, in keeping with the eclectic world music feel of his first album mixing Mongolian throat singing, folk, and alternative rock.

​

Niall is currently touring Ireland & Europe with his experiential concert “Discovering stillness through music & self-enquiry”. This is an experiential music concert which offers participants the opportunity to recognize our natural state,  a state of “being” through music, dialogue, and group voice work.​

The interactive nature of the concert and introspective focus unlocks our ability to observe and question the psychological mind using awareness and the natural curiosity of self-discovery. ​Music is an incredible tool which helps us to access a deeper connection with the heart as it is through the heart that we deepen our sense of “being”. Through this connection, self-inquiry can begin to uncover our true nature, the heart of reality and an ever-present stillness within.
