Poor Creature release new single ‘Adieu Lovely Erin' and announce Dublin gig for November
See the music video for their new single below.
Poor Creature has released their new single ‘Adieu Lovely Erin,’ and announced a gig at Dublin’s Button Factory for November 27.
Tickets for their show are not yet available. The band will also appear at Belfast's The Duncairn on September 12. ‘Adieu Lovely Erin' is paired with an accompanying music video, and will be part of their debut album All Smiles Tonight through River Lea Records, out July 11.
“This song tells the true story of William Hill, a forger from Belfast who was transported to Australia in 1826,” said the band. “The video, animated by Ruth, visits some iconic Irish landscapes as well as a few of the band's former Dublin haunts.”
Poor Creature consists of Ruth Clinton, Cormac MacDiarmada and John Dermody. The Irish folk band is known for re-interpreting songs from the past and making them their own. They collaborate with producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy, who’s worked with groups like Junior Brother, ØXN, Pretty Happy, Ye Vagabonds and The Jimmy Cake.
“There’s something about the everyday and the fantastical, being entangled, which I think Irish music does so well,” said Clinton.
All Smiles Tonight is available for pre-order here.
