We’re delighted to be joined by Saint Sister, Morgana MacIntyre and Gemma Doherty as they are about to release their second album Where I Should End this Friday, June 25th.

Niall and Andrea talked to Morgan and Gemma about moving on from their atmosfolk tag, stepping front and centre in a visual world, the use of local place names in songs, moving past lyrical tropes and falling in love with albums on the road.

They also chose 5 songs that inspired them which frame our discussion and are:

1. Julia Jacklin – Body
2. Philip Glass – Mishima / Closing
3. Big Thief – Mary
4. Kevin Morby – Come To Me Now
5. Weyes Blood – Andromeda

Where I Should End was recorded with Rían Trench in The Meadow, Co. Wicklow, and mixed in Berlin with Benedikt MacIsaac. You can buy the album here and they are doing a Q&A in Dublin on Friday, along with other record store signings and performances around the country.
