Album Notes & Community Reviews
The acclaimed debut album under their new moniker marks the Dublin quartet's transition into a defining force within the modern Irish folk revival. The tracking brilliantly intertwines deeply traditional, unadorned acoustic instruments鈥攕uch as the uilleann pipes and concertina鈥攚ith heavy, ominous vocal harmonies and slow, deliberate drones. The record successfully breathes urgent, contemporary political resonance into centuries-old folk compositions and their own original storytelling.
