The follow-up to their 2020's record A Hero's Death, will be out on April 22 through Partisan Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Skinty Fia, used colloquially as an expletive, it roughly translates from the Irish language into English as “the damnation of the deer”; the spelling crassly anglicised, and its meaning diluted through generations. Part bittersweet romance, part darkly political triumph - the songs ultimately form a long-distance love letter, one that laments an increasingly privatised culture in danger of going the way of the extinct Irish giant deer.
