It’s a bumper week for Irish music with new EPs from Amy Michelle, April, ViRE, Spider, Niamh Regan and Telefís And if that wasn’t enough Sounds Of System Breakdown return with their third album ‘Desperate Creatures’.

Efé who we tipped for big things in our PlecPicks series earlier this year returns with her first new music in 2 years KIWI, and a wonderful slice of bedroom pop it is too. Fontaines D.C have shared the title track to their 3rd album ‘Skinty Fia’ and Skinner impresses with Rapture-esque bop The Slump.

Ireland’s most underrated singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery drops another gem in the form of I Am Old Enough to Know What Love Is, and if folk is your thing we’ve got you covered with new tracks from Laytha, Etaoin, and Fiona Harte and Dillan Witherow.  Zaska hooks up with Jess Kav for the politically charged Calm Down, while Alex Gough brags about his abilities on the short and sweet Busy.

all this plus tracks from Arlene, Joe Skylark, Robb Murphy, Faraway Martin, Saibh Skelly, Lavebgro, Nathan Mac, Clodagh, Zapho, Sam Casey, PureGrand, Rowdy Outsider, Ghostking Is Dead, Still Blue, Lewwab, Belters Only, Elaine Mai, Fya Fox. + collabs from Genpop, Lonny and Winnie Ama and RikShaw, 7eddy and Pat Lagoon.
