PARK HILLS CIRCLE – “SIGHT OF THE MOON”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Park Hills Circle is the atmospheric indie project of Maris Maeve O’Tierney, a singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist (guitar, piano) currently based in Chicago. Her upcoming debut album All of a Sudden, to be released in spring 2026 via Pravda Records, features colorful stacked vocal harmonies, warm synths, ethereal fingerstyle guitar, and soaring saxophone.
O’Tierney has deep musical foundations in opera and classical guitar, and draws influence from her two homes of origin: the storytelling and lyricism of Ireland, and the open, mountain environment of Alaska. Park Hills Circle expands upon O’Tierney’s decade-plus of leading cross-genre duo Maeve & Quinn with her violinist twin sister. Maeve & Quinn perform their songs, poetry in recitation, instrumental music, and storytelling in interdisciplinary performance programs — featured with the Poetry Foundation, Steppenwolf Theatre, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
O’Tierney’s previous project Maeve & Quinn also premiered their orchestral compositions with the Chicago Composers Orchestra and Anchorage (Alaska) Symphony Orchestra. Their most recent LP, Another Door (2023), was featured in the Chicago Tribune, Earmilk, Bandcamp, Under the Radar, among others.
ARTIST QUOTE
“‘Sight of the Moon’ is a tender unfolding — a return to myself, and a re-awakening to daily wonders, as my perspective slowly shifted through a disorienting period of change. I was living alone for the first time, understanding my needs and desires, learning to make a home. The song bridges parts of myself: origins in opera and classical guitar, layered with a loop pedal and nested harmonies. I’ve always centered my spirit through quiet walks in the cold night air, as I did growing up in the Alaska mountains. The song began there.” ~Maris O’Tierney
