New Pagans - Making Circles Of Our Own - LP

Making Circles of Our Own is the new upcoming sophomore record from Northern Ireland's New Pagans. Recorded at Badlands Studios in the Glens of Antrim in Ireland (the band's HQ) by band members Cahir O'Doherty and Allan McGreevy and self-produced by Cahir O’Doherty, the band fexs it's DIY muscles while, continuing to develop and enrich their sound found on their successful debut While the previous record was self-reflective and in places self-critical, ‘Making Circles of Our Own’ is more poised, curious and outward-looking but nonetheless angry in some places. Thematically the album touches on the historiography of women, their love of Ireland, mental health, ageism, homophobia and sexism. It looks at these through the lenses others, a common theme being the fight against societal restrictions through resilience and creativity. External pressures and opinions are something we all deal with throughout our lives and learning how to block those out is a gift most people struggle to master. The aim of this album is to recall, when we take our time and be ourselves it usually leads to a more contented place where beauty can be found and creativity can flourish.
