NEW YORK - Irish-bred underground darlings Voodoo Loons take their game up a few notches this Saturday as the first single off their forthcoming new album is launched not in a dank indie club… but in space.  The band’s second LP, titled The Criminal Ear, is not expected until later this year, but satellite radio provider SiriusXM will be premiering the album’s first track Saturday morning on its Celtic Crush program.

The timing and venue of the launch makes sense on several levels as the song, called “The Winter Trail”, is a track where the band (along with frequent collaborator/mandolin virtuoso Mark Daly) leans more towards their Celtic side than their unique brand of punkish psychedelia.  The song will also be available for download on iTunes.  

Celtic Crush is a long-time staple of SiriusXM’s Spectrum channel, and is a grand tour of all things Celtic, from trad to Celtic rock, and everything that bridges the gap between the two.  It’s hosted by Black 47 leader Larry Kirwan, and can be heard via satellite throughout North America online throughout the world.
