Muireann Bradley announces EP Blackwood Pew

Muireann Bradley has announced a new EP Blackwood Pew, set for release October 23.

She also shared a cover of Daniel Johnston’s ‘True Love Will Find You in the End’, which will appear on the album.

“I decided to record a cover of Daniel Johnston’s ‘True Love Will Find You in the End’ because I was fascinated by the song and Daniel’s story after discovering him,” the artist said. “Daniel’s recording of the song is deeply emotional and sincere but it also has that childlike purity and naivety lyrically and musically that all music has.”

“I was interested to see if I could add a little more structure and complexity to the arrangement without losing the simplicity that’s at the heart of why the song works,” she added.

The EP will include three original songs, including recently released single ‘Not Going Back’, as well as reworkings of classic material.

Of 'Not Going Back', Hot Press wrote, "the song unfolds with a brooding intensity, showcasing both her growing artistry and a more textured and collaborative sound."

Blackwood Pew takes its name from the guitar Bradley used for every recording, which was gifted to her by a fan. It was made from Australian Blackwood reclaimed from a 200-year old church pew in Tasmania.

In June, she was chosen by Fontaines D.C.’s Tom Coll and folk collective Broadside Hacks to headline Féile Moth, an Irish cultural festival at MOTH Club in London.

Additionally, she has upcoming dates across Europe and the UK, with a set at Harvest Time Blues Festival in Monaghan on September 4.
