If you’re a fan of Noah Hawley’s TV shows, odds are you’re familiar with Irish indie-folk singer-songwriter Lisa Hannigan, even if you’re not quite aware of it.
Most recently like, literally a couple of days ago her version of David Bowie’s “Oh! You Pretty Things” scored the closing credits of the sixth episode of FX’s acclaimed X-Men drama Legion, while in 2015 she covered traditional classic Danny Boy for and episode in Fargo’s second season.

She also appeared on the soundtrack for Gravity, the 2013 film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, among other films — including Closer (2004) and, uh, Shrek The Third (2007), both of which included songs she contributed with one-time band-mate and well-known solo artist Damien Rice.
Having got her start as one of Rice’s band members, Hannigan struck out on her own with her 2008 debut Sea Sew and immediately established herself as an artist worth watching, picking up nominations for the Choice Music Prize, Meteor Music Awards and the Mercury Prize. She returned in 2011 with sophomore effort Passenger and most recently released third album At Swim in August last year.
