Les Amazones d’Afrique celebrate the beauty of imperfection on new single ‘Flaws’
The all-female African supergroup kickstart 2024 with their infectious new single, ‘Flaws’.
Thu, 11 January 24
The Breath's acoustic album Only Stories (Let The Cards Fall Revisited) is out now on all digital platforms. Recorded at Real World Studios in November 2018, it features stripped-back, acoustic interpretations of music featuring on their second album alongside two completely new songs and a new version of 'Boat Song' from their debut Carry Your Kin.
Only Stories is a duo recording of immense power and emotion. Stuart McCallum’s beautifully insistent, infinitely subtle guitar is the perfect partner to Ríoghnach Connolly’s intoxicating, deeply passionate voice.
“An acoustic recording that unfolds like a paper flower… The acoustic setting pushed Connolly to the fore, the dense atmospherics of the previous albums melting away like mist.” ★★★★★ Financial Times
“Spacious, nuanced and skilfully crafted… The title track, a standout, has a quiet, shimmering beauty.” ★★★★ Evening Standard
“An acoustic album largely of old songs that still feels truly essential.” The Guardian
The recording session was also filmed, and performances of four tracks from the album are available to watch online.
