Forgiven, Not Forgotten

Polished 90s pop meets traditional Celtic soul. Shimmering sibling harmonies and tin whistle leads create a coastal, wistful, and impeccably produced debut.

It's the ultimate 90s Irish pop record that somehow makes a tin whistle sound like the coolest instrument on earth.

A shimmering, wistful blend of romantic longing and bright, coastal optimism.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden transition from the atmospheric intro into the driving fiddle hook of the title track.

The way the tin whistle takes the lead melody in 'Runaway', giving the ballad a distinctively Irish ache.

The high-energy instrumental breakdown in 'Toss the Feathers' where the traditional folk roots completely take over.
