The Story
Galway three-piece NewDad, fronted by enigmatic songwriter and vocalist Julie Dawson, bring their second album Altar to silver LP with light blue and white streak-splatter, limited to 500 copies and hand-numbered to order.
The band make music that confronts the horrors of the modern world. Julie's lyrics find beauty in her pain, with a unique perspective on her generational despair that resonates broadly. With writing that regularly evokes imagery of water and religion, she reflects on the bandās upbringing on the West Coast of Ireland through her songwriting.
Altarās a grungey alt-rock future classic that jolts between anger-fueled anthemics on the one hand, and darkly intimate and melancholic introspection on the other. Theyāve built a dedicated cult following with their acclaimed debutĀ MadraĀ and if theyāre good enough for the godfather of goth theyāre good enough for youā¦
āI liked the NewDad album, thatās been on in my car for a long timeā (Robert Smith).
