After years of making genre-defying, other-worldly pop music and performing visceral, kinetic shows across Europe and the UK, ‘Folk Songs For Mama & Papa’ by Irish artist AE Mak (Aoife McCann) marks a quiet and profound shift. Mainly inspired by her own spirit and influenced by artists such as Björk, Judee Sill, Aldous Harding and Paul Simon, the album steps away from character-making and toward essence. It is a cosmical - spiritual folk record rooted in voice, breath, and emotional resonance in the body.
