Irish first press 2019
This one’s a proper oddball in the best way. One lad, a homemade harp, and somehow it ends up sounding like nothing else you’ve got in the racks. Feels ancient and futuristic at the same time. Bits of folk, bits of drone, bits where it just drifts off into its own head completely. Not an easy listen if you’re expecting tunes but if you give it ten minutes it kind of rewires your brain a wee bit. The sort of record that makes people stop mid-browse and go “what is this?” Always a good sign. FFO: Laraaji, Popol Vuh, early Durutti Column, Irish folk gone strange, drone, meditative oddities
