[Machine Translation] The aesthetic sound that has captivated everyone has been revived in the modern age.... Maria Somerville, a rising star from Ireland who heralds the dawn of a new era with a soundscape of overwhelming beauty, debuts on ( 4AD ) with her second album! Maria Somerville earned accolades from discerning music media and listeners with her shocking debut album "All My People", which was independently released in 2019.

This is a breathtakingly beautiful work that will cleanse your soul as if you had taken a slow, deep breath in the majestic nature and clean air of Somerville's homeland, Ireland. The production involved a variety of artists, including Diego Herrera, also known as Suzanne Craft, and Ian Lynch ( Lankum ), who hails from the same country. (Since 2021, when he signed with 4AD, he has been in charge of the popular "Early Bird Show" on NTS Radio, and has also toured with Dry Cleaning, who also belongs to the label.
