Liner notes
Recorded at Real World Studios, these are four acoustic interpretations of tracks from the The Breath’s recent album Carry Your Kin. Stuart McCallum’s stripped back guitar beautifully frames Ríoghnach Connolly’s moving vocals – at times heartbreakingly sad, always deeply moving.
Born out of Manchester’s fertile music scene, The Breath mix Irish folk influences with mesmerizing guitar riffs, anthemic themes and powerful hooks. Connolly’s soulful vocals are interwoven into the electronic fabric of McCallum’s distinctive soundworld. In turns hypnotic, lush, powerfully raw and raucously punchy, their songs entrance, uplift and break your heart as The Breath conjure a kaleidoscope of sound that perfectly frames Connolly’s raw songs and soul cleansing vocals.
