‘Dúiseann Muid Suas’ is the latest single from IMLÉ’s forthcoming album ‘Fáilte Isteach’.
‘Fáilte Isteach’ will be released on Gael Linn records and a release date will be announced in the coming weeks.
MC Muipéad and Cian Mac Cárthaigh recorded and produced the track with long-time collaborator Karl Odlum.
The song is a call to action against intolerance, xenophobia & racism. The message of the song is not to stay silent when confronted by injustice, and to show love & understanding rather than hate.
The song features MC Muipéad on vocals, keyboard and synths, Cian Mac Cárthaigh on guitar, bass and loops, Karl Odlum on synths and loops and backing vocals from Róisín Seoighe.
IMLÉ (Translates as; The freeing effect of the mystical hours between 2am – 6am) are an unconventional band with a unique sound, featuring MC Muipéad & Cian Mac Cárthaigh as well as regular contributors Ríona Sally Hartman, Róisín Seoighe, Karl Odlum, Dave Keegan & David Hingerty.
Their sound mixes poetry, rap and pop music in a way that has never been heard before – particularly in the Irish Language. IMLÉ’s self-titled debut album was released on Gael Linn Records in 2016. The album explores the meaning of life, our relationship with the planet and finding hope within despair. IMLÉ won best album, song and band at the 2017 Gradaim Cheoil NÓS.
The group have played festivals all over the world including Celtic Connections in Glasgow (2018 & 2020), Electric Picnic in Ireland and SUNS Europe in Udine, Italy.
Their second album will be released on Gael Linn records in 2022.
‘Dúiseann Muid Suas’ is out Friday January 7th.
