Translating from Irish as ‘freedom’, ‘Saoirse’ is Maruja‘s latest debut album preview, and a powerful statement of solidarity with Palestine. Opening with a subtle and atmospheric interplay between saxophone and guitar, the track evolves into a vibrant and cinematic crescendo of rolling drums and string arrangements. Frontman Harry Wilkinson’s raw, poetic vocals – layered over the band’ signature, energetic jazz-rock – are a poignant invitation for introspection and unity amidst our volatile world’s current divisions, making for an authentic and utterly immersive listen.
