Uncertain is the first EP by the Irish band the Cranberries. [1] The EP was released in the autumn of 1991, [1] with the band having previously released cassette EPs under the name The Cranberry Saw Us. [1] [2] Uncertain was released by Island under the Xeric Records name on both CD and 12" vinyl formats. [3] [4] Approximately 5,000 total copies of Uncertain were produced. [5] Guitarist Noel Hogan said of the album that Gilmore "cluttered the mixes with dance beats and industrial-style guitar", which resulted from a conflictual relationship between the group and Gilmore. [2] The EP did not chart. [1]
An unreleased music video was made for the main theme "Uncertain"; [6] a brief part of the clip was included on their DVD compilation, Stars: The Best of 1992–2002. The unedited complete video clip appeared for the first time on YouTube on 14 April 2020, and shows a young Dolores O'Riordan, with her brother Brendan and his daughter Cora, recalling her days as a child in an Irish forest. [6]
After the release of 'Uncertain', The Cranberries appeared on the Irish television show "On The Waterfront" which was hosted by Robert Arkins and Felim Gormley from The Commitments. [7] They performed " Linger", which was recorded and was broadcast in 1992. [7]
All lyrics are written by Dolores O'Riordan; all music is composed by Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan
