Irish musician Maria Somerville will release her second album and debut project on 4AD, Luster, this Friday. Ahead of it, Somerville shares the record’s final single, ‘Spring’ – a whirring and atmospheric dreamgaze track, full yet fleeting with distorted acoustic strumming, ghostly siren calls, commanding percussion, and a surprising auto-tuned outro.
Over the last few months, Somerville introduced Luster’s haunting tranquility and lush sonic backdrop with three other singles from the record: ‘Stonefly’ (accompanied by a music video directed by Daniel Swan) ‘Garden’ (produced by Diego Herrera, aka Suzanne Kraft) and ‘Projections’. Channeling her experiences growing up on the wild and mountainous region of the Corrib in her native Connemara, Luster also pays homage to 4AD forebears such as This Mortal Coil.
Luster will be available on all digital platforms, as well as physical formats (CD, Clear Vinyl LP) on 25 April.
