The debut album from a band with a rich line-up, including Stuart McCallum, guitarist for The Cinematic Orchestra. Irish folk with rock and jazz inflections, all beneath the sublime voice of singer Rioghnach Connolly. THE BREATH is the name chosen by Stuart McCallum, guitarist for The Cinematic Orchestra, Irish singer Rioghnach Connolly, pianist John Ellis, and drummer Luke Flowers. Hailing from Manchester's fertile music scene, they blend Irish folk with hypnotic guitar riffs and powerful hooks. Connolly's powerful voice is interwoven with McCallum's original electronic productions. Hypnotic, rich, raw, and energetic, their songs engulf you and evoke a sonic kaleidoscope that perfectly suits Connolly's songs and her pure voice. Connolly sings anthems about life and death, sometimes addressing women's rights or first love, set against a backdrop of rock, ambient, folk, and jazz. Recorded in Manchester and at Real World Studios, then mixed by Tchad Blake, this debut album, *Carry Your Kin*, is a little marvel.
