_“Soft-spoken pop meets a purifying Irish spring… Weaving musical tapestries with
harp, guitar and vocals… a beautiful marriage of sound with song, drawing you in
with frequencies and tones that seemingly connect with our organs and cells” _~ **

British-Spanish indie folk duo [**Shrinari **](http://shrinari.com/)presents their
single[ **‘The Gift’**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/track/the-gift), a sweet taster
of their debut album[ **‘Hold On To The Hope, Though’**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/)**,**
slated for release later in autumn.

Based in London, Shrinari is a leading duo on the British spiritual music scene,
who tour internationally. Comprised of **Lucidia Omamori** and **Rafael Marchante
Angulo**, they incorporates harp, guitar and vocals into their music, which has 
a strong spiritual component and carries a message of hope, unity and connection.

Shrinari are committed to making music that brings hope, fuels a positive outlook
on life, and promotes ecological and spiritual awareness, translating into song 
the many stages and phases of the human experience. With ‘The Gift’ single, Shrinari
continue their transcendent adventure in consciousness and celebration of love and
life through the synergy of sound and song.

“This song was born after a local walk, in which we discovered a hollow oak that
had been used as a litter bin and set on fire. It’s a contemplation about what was
lacking in people’s lives that they would feel such an absence of connection to 
the natural environment that they would treat it with such disregard. My intention
was to inspire the awareness of the need to respect and protect our Earth Mother
and all living beings,” says **Lucidia Omamori**.

You could call this music genre fluid, sacred indie pop or spirit soul. You could
call it high frequency or eclectic medicine music, Celtic or world folk. One thing
is for sure – the collection of songs on their coming long-player ‘Hold on to the
Hope Though’ intertwine the personal and the collective, giving voice to the challenges
we are facing in these changing times. Always delivered with Shrinari’s sense of
optimism and hope filled wonder, their music reflects the point of no return that
we are living through historically, together with the timeless themes of human existence
and evolution.

“This moment in time feels like a crucial point. We’re in the middle of a bridge
we’re crossing between what we have been and what we will become. This album is 
a bridge as well between many aspects: the personal and the collective, the ancestral
and the contemporary, the magical and the mundane, logic and intuition, fear and
trust, etc,” says **Rafael Marchante Angulo**.

“These lyrics depict personal and profound moments of exploration and discovery 
in my inner and outer journey, articulating my process of understanding my inner
conflicts, integrating the effect of witnessing and contributing to the destruction
of this planet we have been gifted. This is a reminder to ourselves and others to
hold on to the hope, to perceive and to experience beauty where it still dwells,
and to take action to shift the balance in a positive direction for the future generations.
A reminder to honour all the teachings we have received along the way on our diverse
path of spiritual searching, philosophical understanding and to show up with deep
conviction to love this planet and preserve the beauty for all life as a result 
of clarity I have received in moments of realisation,” says **Lucidia Omamori**.

As of October 13, ‘The Gift’ will be available across online stores, such as **[Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6FEZ3jC8K0kL2RW1It8nVH)**
and** **[**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/shrinari/980645268).
The full album ‘Hold Onto The Hope, Though’ will be released on November 24 and 
can be pre-ordered via [**Bandcamp**](https://shrinari.bandcamp.com/album/hold-on-to-the-hope-though),
