About the show
Inspired mainly by her own spirit, and Bjork, Aldous Harding, Judee Sill, Paul Simon and with the limbs of a young David Byrne; Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) has been creating what her friends describe as “nursery rhymes for adults”, producing genre-defying other-worldly pop music with industrial beats and charging them into visceral - kinetic stage shows.
She has performed across Europe & the UK; supported bands such as Ye Vagabonds, TuneYards, Django Django, Warpaint and performed at festivals such as Fusion, Reading & Leeds, Latitude, KEXP; Icelandic Airwaves and Electric Picnic. Her songwriting led her to signing a worldwide publishing deal with BDI Music UK in 2019.
Having released a plethora of self-produced EPs, done the Berlin and done the L.A thing, and made a couple of cartoon albums
She has just released her debut record “Folk Songs For Mama & Papa”
A cosmical, spiritual - folk work.
A “return to voice”.
“Folk Songs For Mama & Papa is a big record stitched together from small moments of wonder and joy.” - “A gorgeously fragile deep dive into the furthest realms of outsider pop - she sounds like a soprano serenading the end of the world” - Hotpress Magazine
“It is lamenting, folk-induced, genre bending. Tender and soulful. It is a testament to what grows from eliminating excess noise, stripping songwriting back to the soulful springs of piano and voice” - The Goo
