OUT TODAY!! Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh ~ Lux Gratis CD ☀️
https://kraak.bandcamp.com/album/lux-gratis
Ailbhe’s intuitive compositions find new shapes where tones and drones are carried out by unexpected allies, breathing disquiet into her radical sonic language. Infinite thanks to Q-O2 for welcoming Ailbhe in residency ~ join us there for the release show this Friday 21, where Ailbhe will be accompanied by Sam Comerford (tenor sax) and Viktor Perdieus (baritone sax) for her performance!

THIS FRIDAY 21/02: KRAAK and Q-O2 celebrate the release of Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh’s new album Lux Gratis out Feb 18! Resulting from her 2024 residency in Q-O2, Lux Gratis takes Ailbhe down new roads of experimentation, integrating organs and electronics into her unrestrained sonic parlance. Flanked by the new-fangled duo of Steenkiste & Bischoff and their ringing drone magic, we’re set to gather around for a night of auditory rapture with all ye eager-eared out there.
