Today a lazarus soul release, 'The Flower I Flung Into her Grave', the first single from their forthcoming and long-awaited album, No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens, rout 5 July.

Their first release since 2019’s much-loved The D They Put Between the R & L, the band have shared a accompanying video. Directed by Charlie Joe Doherty and Gabriel Paschal Blake, the film was shot in Donegal on 16mm black and white film with dazzling choreography from the lead Tadgh Quigley Brennan.

Inspired by the Marina Carr play, By The Bog of Cats, 'The Flower I Flung Into her Grave' is - like much of the album from which it’s taken - a meditation on wilderness, nature, spirit and humanity. Brian Brannigan wrote the track during long walks across the Bog of Allen and along the Royal Canal.

Musically, No Flowers Grow in Cement Gardens - as with the lead single - is the sound of a band at the peak of its powers, clearly relishing being reunited after a long gestation period.

No Flowers Grow in Cement Garden is available to pre-order and pre-save now.
