Inspired mainly by her own spirit, and Bjork, Aldous Harding, Judee Sill, Paul Simon and with the limbs of a young David Byrne; Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) has been creating what her friends describe as “nursery rhymes for adults”, producing genre-defying other-worldly pop music with industrial beats and charging them into visceral - kinetic stage shows. She has performed across Europe & the UK; supported bands such as Ye Vagabonds, TuneYards, Django Django, Warpaint and performed at festivals such as Fusion, Reading & Leeds, Latitude, KEXP; Icelandic Airwaves and Electric Picnic. Her songwriting led her to signing a worldwide publishing deal with BDI Music UK in 2019. Having released a plethora of self-produced EPs, done the Berlin and done the L.A thing, and made a couple of cartoon albums; She has just released her debut record Folk Songs For Mama & Papa. A cosmical, spiritual - folk work. A “return to voice”. Whether in hushed moments of tenderness or expansive, uplifting choruses, the music invites listeners into a world rich with feeling, imagination and connection.
