Maria Somerville

Irish musician Maria Somerville shared her second album and debut project on 4AD, Luster, in April. A few months on from its release, Somerville now announces a brand new Luster (Remixes) EP, due 21 January.

Somerville’s Luster, including the dreamgaze singles Spring and Garden, channels her experiences on the bank of the Corrib in her native Connemara, Ireland and pays homage to the sonic tapestry woven by classic 4AD collective This Mortal Coil.

By the time she started writing Luster, she had lived away from home for quite some time. Having grown up amongst the wild, mountainous terrain of Galway’s rural west coast, she later relocated to Dublin, where she patiently developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth – a spellbinding soundworld of gusting ambient electronics, ethereal guitar strums, sparse percussion, and hushed lyrical vignettes.

In 2019, this culminated in All My People, a self-released LP steeped in reverb, nostalgia and a yearning for home
