The new @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social album is great.

I stuck it on whilst cooking and almost burnt everything to a cinder.

Feat members of Lankum & Landless, the group offer a unique at times psychedelic take on traditional Irish folk

Blown away by how good Poor Creature were this evening at Rough Trade East. Spellbinding performances of songs from their fantastic debut LP 'All Smiles Tonight. They have a beautiful but slightly out of focus quality which is quite magical. @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social

Few outside of Ireland have had the chance to experience this remarkable band live - now's your opportunity to get a first look at what this powerful trio will bring to Supersonic Festival!

We're very excited to release our third single (and title track of the album),
All Smiles Tonight [lobster]

It's a story about seeing your fella on the dancefloor with another woman, except the year is 1879. Still highly relatable, in fairness.

Out today! Our second single, Adieu Lovely Erin
This song tells the true story of William Hill, a forger from Belfast who was transported to Australia in 1826. The video, animated by Ruth, visits some iconic Irish landscapes as well as a few of the band's former Dublin haunts.

Truly magical stuff from @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social on Friday.

It has been such a joy to follow their crafting of this truly unique and fascinating sound.

‘All Smiles Tonight’ is going to be my AOTY in that silly list at the end of it.
