After releasing her EP Luster (Remixes) on January 21 and touring across Ireland and the UK in February, Maria Somerville continues her tour in North America and makes her way to the SAT on March 20.
When Irish musician Maria Somerville began writing Luster, her landmark debut album on the 4AD label, it had already been some time since she had left her native Connemara. Having grown up among the wild, mountainous landscapes of the rural west coast of County Galway, she later moved to Dublin, where she patiently crafted an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscapes of her childhood – an enchanting sonic world of swirling ambient electronics, ethereal guitars, sparse percussion, and whispered lyrical vignettes. With this release, she ushers in a new era that will see her perform around the world in 2025, accompanied by a band.
