Lush, melodic indie rock with haunting vocals – in “Gaudete” you can hear why the Irish quintet [**THEATRE**](https://glamglare.com/artist/theatre?ref=glamglare.com) have been turning heads in their home country and the UK. The band has just released their debut EP [*Incarnate*](https://glamglare.com/album/theatre-incarnate?ref=glamglare.com) on the heels of a performance at The Great Escape in Brighton.

Singer Maeve O’Shea explains about the song:

> “Gaudete” was written in the early days of the band. At the time I was listening to a lot of English and Irish folk music, and Steeleye Span was one of the most prominent inspirations. In their album ‘Below the Salt’ they recorded a rendition of Gaudete, a 16th century Christmas hymn - I heard the melody entangled in a guitar melody that Dara brought to a rehearsal and was determined that the two could be married together. The result was an original song that references the choral aspects of the ancient ‘Gaudete’ and plays with a dark lyrical theme to contrast the Latin meaning behind the word, rejoice or be joyful.
