MARIA SOMERVILLE Silent Green, Berlin am 03.03.26

Irish musician Maria Somerville shared her second album and debut project on 4AD,Luster, in April. A few months on from its release, Somerville now announces a brand new Luster (Remixes) EP, due January 21. In total, the EP gives six tracks off Somerville’s already mesmerizing, wind-swept record new life in fitting, and sometimes surprising ways via its enlisted cast of friends and collaborators (Seefeel, YHWH Nailgun, Fatshaudi, colle, Asa Nisi Masa & Oscar18, and Boris). 

Alongside the announcement, today finds the release of three remix tracks off the EP — Seefeel’s slow-burning “Stonefly” remix, where the track is extended over 7-minutes with crackling synths and whispered cosmological refrains; colle’s (Maya McGrory of Chanel Beads) “Projections” remix, where she adds to the longing inherent of the single with delicately plucked strings and lightly swirling feedback; and Brisbane-based underground dream-pop artist Fatshaudi’s (aka Rachael Ryan) swooning and romantic remix of “Up”, where she takes the track to an even glossier, more atmospheric plane.
