Maria Somerville – All My People LP

Description

Maria Somerville’s self-released breakthrough 2019 album ‘All My People’ is a beautiful distillation of Irish motifs and traditional folk forms originating from her roots in Connemara, Western Ireland. Keyboards, guitars, and drum machines are drenched in reverb and filtered through a haze of processing until they come together as one unified sound, almost choir-like, while Somerville’s whispered vocal delivery provides the intimacy of a pub singer.

Maria Somerville draws on folk forms alongside post-punk, traditional Irish motifs, starry eyed pop and hypnotic drones to create wholly original music that is borne of her roots in Connemara, Western Ireland.
