Cloch 's Claí [LP]

Trá Pháidín - Cloch 's Claí [LP]

Trá Pháidín are a mutable collective of musicians who are geographically, culturally and mentally torn between Conamara Theas, Cathair Chorcaí, Ciarraí, Uíbh Fhailí, Sligeach and Port Láirge, active in one form or another since 2019. The music they make embraces traditional Irish absurdity, jazz, folk and krautrock influences, focusing upon original Gaelic music.

Cloch 's Clai (trans. Stone & Wall), their first record to be released by World of Echo, develops their established interests into more adventurous waters (and walls!) than ever. Based on the historical significance embedded into dry-stone walls, the album presents a satirical view of Éire's relationship with her native tongue and the Gaeltacht. Constructed of ten tracks, each representative of a stone in a metaphorical stone-wall.
