“Pretty is a lighter spin on a key theme of the album, homesickness. It was a way for me to express my adoration for Galway, it’s a love song really,” says frontwoman Julie Dawson. “Coming to a place like London that’s so chaotic and overwhelming really made me appreciate the peace and quiet of home. Also the landscape, being able to see wide open fields and roads with no one on them it’s just so calming and I’m in love with it. That’s why I wrote this song.”
Altar is set to follow last year's debut full-length release, Madra, as well as the Safe EP released earlier this year, and Julie Dawson's debut solo project, Bottom Of The Pool.
