Premiere: Maria Kelly opens up on the topic of mental health with new track 'Dark Places'

‘Dark Places’ is the second single release by Maria Kelly from her new AA side ‘Dark Places’/‘Small Talk’. Both tracks tackle themes of mental health, depression and social anxiety.

The raw and open qualities on ‘Dark Places’ in dealing with mental-health related topics such as isolation and depression creates a space of reflection that resonates, with the angelic tones to Maria’s voice throughout allowing for that space of reflection to also be one of comfort.

The ‘Dark Places’/’Small Talk’ AA side vinyl launch takes place at the Workman’s Club, Dublin on April 25th in association with Homebeat. Support on the night will be from Éna Brennan. Tickets priced at €14+ are available from Eventbrite.ie.
