Irish musician Maria Somerville announces her forthcoming second album and debut project on 4AD, Luster, due for release on April 25. To celebrate, she also shares the album’s second single, ‘Garden’, produced by Diego Herrera, aka Suzanne Kraft.
The transportive track sinks her emotive siren-esque vocal stylings into a whirring, all-consuming merger of soaring feedback, airy percussion, and nostalgic guitar chords reminiscent of classic 4AD. Its release is accompanied by a music video filmed in the Irish countryside and directed by Anna Heisterkamp. Watch below!
Late last year, Somerville introduced Luster with her first new single in three years, ‘Projections,’ a wistful and romantic shoegaze track drenched in longing via fuzzed-out bass and strummed guitar, and carried by Somerville’s hypnotic and tranquil vocal stylings. Both new tracks point toward the upcoming project’s haunting tranquility and lush sonic backdrop.
Luster is out April 25 on all digital platforms, as well as physical formats (CD, Clear Vinyl LP).
