By the time Irish musician Maria Somerville started writing her latest album Luster (released in April 2025), she had lived away from her native Connemara for quite some time. Having grown up amongst the wild, mountainous terrain of Galway’s rural west coast, she later relocated to Dublin, where she patiently developed an atmospheric dream pop signature inspired by the landscape of her youth – a spellbinding sound world of gusting ambient electronics, ethereal guitar strums, sparse percussion, and hushed lyrical vignettes.
Where her first record, All My People (2019), channeled the wilderness of the Irish landscape and conveyed memories and melancholic longing with misty slowcore balladry, Luster shows an artist who’s more assured in the path her life has taken, and the person she’s become in the process.
In the short time since its release, the critically acclaimed record has seen a Best New Music accolade from Pitchfork and a glowing Guardian review, among other pieces of praise such as being named one of The FADER’s ‘30 coolest artists right now’.
