Blind Faith: - Gemma Hayes [VINYL]

Having taken the time and space she needed to figure out what she wants to tell the world. Hayes has plenty to say, with Blind Faith diving into themes of longing, empowerment, freedom and repression. While Hayes's songwriting is as personal as ever, its abstract nature allows the listener to sink into each song, immersed by tender guitar picking, eerie synths and swooning cello. It's made all the more remarkable given this is Hayes's first album in a decade.

The Irish musician's first new album since 2014's "Bones + Longing" is accompanied by a UK headline tour, including London's Union Chapel on September 28. Produced by Hayes with Karl Odlum, David Odlum & Brian Casey, Blind Faith features Lisa Hannigan on backing vocals on "Eye For An Eye" and "Feed The Flames," which she also co-wrote, while Paul Noonan duets with Gemma on "Another Love."
