Poor Creature are Cormac Mac Diarmada (Lankum), Ruth Clinton (Landless) and John Dermody (The Jimmy Cake). They take songs of love, loss and the supernatural from Irish and American traditions, reimagining them in new arrangements that are by turns sparse, dreamy, psychedelic and propulsive. An eagerly anticipated debut album, made with producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy is due out in 2025.
“I have been broadcasting their respective music in bands such as Lankum and Landless for a few years now. It almost goes without saying that their dedication and creativity in traditional music has had a dramatic impact on a generation of listeners in Ireland. In fact, it has impacted every generation who encounters it, the music is timeless and immediate to everyone”– Ray Cuddihy, RTÉ Mise Freisin
