Overview

• The third CMAT album is out August 29 via AWAL, landing after a breakout summer of festival sets including Glastonbury.
• Critics at the i Paper, Rolling Stone and the Independent praise its ambition and craft, with some calling it one of the year’s best releases.
• Pre-release tracks included Take A Sexy Picture Of Me, Running/Planning and The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station, followed by the new single When A Good Man Cries with an Eilís Doherty–directed video.
• CMAT frames the title as a critique of late capitalism’s erosion of community, and the title track opens in Irish while referencing the Celtic Tiger era and Bertie Ahern.
• Working with producer Oli Deakin, CMAT calls it her most country record while purposefully bending the genre, though a few reviews note a slower stretch late in the album.
