SELK is spearheaded by Dublin based composer Anna Jordan. Their debut album Beast was released in 2016 receiving praise from The Outmost, Hot Press, The Irish Times, Golden Plec and The Last Mixed Tape.  SELK, came into the orbit of Emmy winning composer Javier Navarrete - famed for his score for Guillermo del Toro’s cult classic Pan’s Labyrinth - when he heard Anna perform her song ‘Moments’ at a house party. He was inspired to compose an orchestral score to compliment and elevate the song, which was released on AMS Records in February 2020 and played on John Kennedy’s X Radio show in the UK.

In May 2020 they released a second collaboration ‘Silent Sea’ - a rework of Anna's piece from her debut EP Dust.

Anna Jordan has established herself as a serious composer, with contributions to soundtracks for movies such as 'Snap' directed by Carmel Winters (Float Like A Butterfly) and 'Breakfast On Pluto' starring Cillian Murphy. Anna’s moving compositions lend well to film and in 2019 SELK’s track ‘Salt’ was added to the soundtrack of thriller ‘Greta’ starring Chloe Grace Moretz, with ‘Salt’ subsequently becoming SELK’s most successful release to date.

Anna was awarded the MISP recording grant, to facilitate the recording of the second SELK album. This album is due for release August 2022. 

Press:

"Drawing from a broad sonic palette SELK’s raw, unshackled songs possess an inherent power which prove mesmerising in a live environment"

"A remarkably cohesive record for a debut …Beast is a journey worth taking."

" …a moody and expansive work that melds indie-pop choruses with bold soundscapes and intricate production"

" …an atmospheric, evocative, and at times, sinister collection. Beast is well worth grappling with."
