“Transcendent” The Irish Times // 9/10 “a softly fermenting fury..pletely unique” The Line of Best Fit // 10/10 “…awe-inspiring depth … a triumph” The Last Mixed Tape // Maija Sofia, one of Irelands most lauded young folk artists has produced a timeless debut album, inspired by story-driven traditional folk-ballads, shone through the lens of punk DIY ethos. Sofia took inspiration fromstory-driven traditional folk ballads and shone them through the lens of a punk DIY ethos. The album name comes from the ritual of daily bathing, a whimsical place where most of the lyrics were written. The album deals with the ways in which women’s voices, stories and desires have been sidelined and misrepresented throughout history. “Think Jesus and Mary Chain meets Angel Olsen” Hot Press // “A real timeless quality is rare in so much of modern music, but the delicate timbre of Maija Sofia’s music is impossible to ascribe to a particular moment”.
