Overview

• EURO-COUNTRY is released on August 29 via AWAL, following a concentrated summer rollout.
• CMAT shared the pre-release track When a Good Man Cries with an Eilís Doherty–directed video the day before the album launch.
• The i Paper calls the record the album of the year, while Louder highlights its ambition even as it notes a slower second half.
• Producer Oli Deakin helps fuse slide guitar and fiddle with pop sensibilities as CMAT aims to bend country’s boundaries rather than replicate them.
• Songs tackle Ireland’s housing fallout, the scrutiny of women’s bodies, and late-capitalist loss of community, building on earlier singles Running/Planning, Take a Sexy Picture of Me, and The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station.
