Skinty Fia’s cover
The title is an Irish phrase, which translates to “the damnation of the deer.” A press release states that the record sees the band members “addressing their Irishness from afar as they recreate new lives for themselves elsewhere,” with the title echoing the extinct Giant Irish Deer, and the deer that finds itself out of its natural habitat on the cover. Sonically, the record is set to be “ more expansive and cinematic” than the band’s previous two.
Check out the video for Jackie Down The Line below. It features dace and choreography from artist Blackhaine.
