***BACK IN STOCK!!! Received a 7.4 rating from Pitchfork. Ireland's BRIGID MAE POWER returns with a new album. The sadly topical first single, "Don't Shut Me Up (Politely)," seems to express what's on the minds of many women right now. Tompkins Square's Josh Rosenthal noted on social media, "I don't usually have the opportunity to say something political about the music I put out, but in the case of Brigid Mae Power's new single, 'Don't Shut Me Up (Politely),' I think this song may resonate with any woman who's been gaslit, mansplained to, paid less, bullied, sexually harassed by a C-List celebrity or famous movie producer, had her birth control systematically taken away, or told she had to go to another country or across state lines to get an abortion." The Two Worlds. Power's self-titled debut, released on Tompkins Square in 2016, received wide praise from Uncut (9/10, "Masterpiece"), MOJO (4 stars), The Guardian (4 stars), Irish Times (4 stars) and was featured on NPR World Cafe, as well as several BBC programs. The Two Worlds' was produced by PETER BRODERICK and recorded at Analogue Catalogue in County Down, Ireland.

***Irish singer-songwriter BRIGID MAE POWER's stunningly beautiful new solo full-length is an album drenched in reverb-soaked emotion and lament. Enchantingly performed and produced, the record showcases a songwriter of immense talent in a soundscape that naturally merges itself to Brigid Power's engulfing sound. The magic lies in the songwriter's expression of raw emotion, in all its delicate beauty. Themes include transformation, change, motherhood, acceptance, strength, courage and trust. In the words of Power, the album is about "trusting if you lose yourself or your way—you can come back." A wave of inspiration abounds the sprawling canvas of sound, mapping the rawest of emotion and deepest of fears. A mystical spell is cast by the meeting of these two kindred spirits: Brigid Mae Power's songwriting prowess and Peter Broderick's deep musical understanding.
