Maria Somerville unveils final album preview, "Spring"

By the time Irish musician Maria Somerville started writing Luster, her label debut for 4AD, she had lived away from her native Connemara for quite some time. During her time in Dublin, she developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth. This culminated in 2019's self-released LP, All My People. It was upon returning to Connemara, in a house near where she was raised overlooking one of the country’s largest lakes, Lough Corrib, that work commenced on the songs that would eventually become Luster.

Maria Somerville has also announced UK and European tour dates taking place in April and May, finishing at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) on 10 May.
