The Breath have announced further details of their new album Land of My Other, set for release on 13 October 2023. The project will consist of ten emotive and acoustic-minded tracks.

Land of My Other is written and performed by Ríoghnach Connolly and guitarist Stuart McCallum. It is the widely acclaimed duo’s third album under their moniker The Breath.

"We work like two halves of a single songwriter," says McCallum, the Manchester-based composer and producer. "Imagine a guitarist and a singer who are not separate but are separate people. We just have this really special connection that lets us listen, adapt and evolve a piece of music together."

"Stuart is the yin to my yang," says Connolly, BBC Folk Singer of the Year. "He has one face. I have many. He's very measured. I'm not. I like mayhem. He doesn't. I know where I am with him."

The album promises stories that will “soothe, stir, exalt, and touch emotional chords that will bring tears, of lamenting joy, to your eyes.”

‘Don’t Rush it’ is the first song to feature from the album and discusses the toll we pay for leaving home as well as the mistakes we make by hurrying grief.

The record is produced by renowned composer/pianist Thomas Bartlett, who joins the duo on keys for some of the recordings.

The Breath play the Keep Her Lit Festival in Inistioge, Kilkenny on Saturday 19 August. Tickets for the show are available here.
