Kildare, Ireland. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter years of making genre-defying, other-worldly pop music and performing visceral, kinetic shows across Europe and the UK, ‘\u003cem\u003eFolk Songs For Mama \u0026amp; Papa\u003c\/em\u003e’ by Irish artist \u003cstrong\u003eAE Mak\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eAoife McCann\u003c\/strong\u003e) marks a quiet and profound shift. Mainly inspired by her own spirit and influenced by artists such as \u003cstrong\u003eBjörk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJudee Sill\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAldous Harding\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Simon\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album steps away from character-making and toward essence. It is a cosmical - spiritual folk record rooted in voice, breath, and emotional resonance in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs were written in the Winter during a time of deep emotional pain and self-questioning. Living alone in a Berlin apartment, AE Mak began writing at a friend’s piano, singing poems formed over a year of anxiety, low self-worth and self-reckoning directly into melody. The music came quickly, not as an idea to be shaped but as something that already felt there. The recorded demos were later brought to \u003cstrong\u003eBrían Mac Gloinn\u003c\/strong\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003eYe Vagabonds\u003c\/strong\u003e, who tenderly co-produced and engineered the record with Aoife. Together with \u003cstrong\u003eCian Hanley\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums) and \u003cstrong\u003eKevin Corcoran\u003c\/strong\u003e (piano, bass) and Fennel the cat, parts of the album were rerecorded in a friend’s farmhouse in Ravensdale forest under the mantelpiece in their kitchen, with other elements captured in her family home in the Cooley Mountains. The recordings hold onto their beginnings - the production remains close and human, drawing from the warmth of ‘60s and ‘70s folk and baroque pop, gospel-leaning organ, reverberant orange guitar textures, and layered harmony, the voice at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a record born from pain and searching, but also from humour and devotion. It is about illumination, creation, connection, and the quiet, ecstatic knowing that we are not alone - we are spiritual beings having a human experience - “we came from the stars, you see.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpindizzy Records Instore link below:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"HyperlinkV2 SCXO1698648 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/ae-mak-instore-signing-may-29\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO1698648 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO1698648 BCX0\"\u003ehttps:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/ae-mak-instore-signing-may-29\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
