More Info
Dublin six-piece Madra Salach announce their debut album Gorta, set for release on 15 January 2027 via Island Records.
Named after the Irish word for “hunger”, Gorta is an album about inheritance: what we carry from the generations before us, what we leave behind, and the many forms that hunger can take.
The album sleeve, created by Oscar Torrans, holds all of that in a single figure: a Blemmyes, one of the akephaloi of ancient legend, the headless ones whose faces sat in their chests.
Produced by Loren Humphrey in New York, whose recent credits include Geese and Cameron Winter, Gorta moves between moments of stark intimacy and full-band eruptions.
The CD edition comes in a gatefold sleeve with a 12-page booklet. The standard black LP comes in a single sleeve with a black inner sleeve.
The limited Stone Edition LP features Indies Exclusive alternative artwork, earth-colour vinyl and a printed inner sleeve containing lyrics and unseen artwork.
