M(h)aol - Something Soft

Irish post‑punk firebrands M(h)aol defy their title from the first thundering drumroll of “Pursuit” to the feedback-lashed finale “I Miss My Dog.” No softness here—only uncompromising attitudes on intersectional feminism, consumerism, and holding grief up to honest light.

Core trio Constance Keane, Jamie Hyland, and Sean Nolan lock in tightly, with tracks like the rattling “Snare” and the blistering “DM: AM” showcasing drum‑and‑vocal unity that feels both immediate and explosive. Each song mixes rage and resilience in a visceral, cathartic rush.

Recorded in Dublin’s Ailfionn Studio with Sarah Deegan joining bass‑decamping duties, the album balances raw power and surprising nuance. And yes—chaos has never sounded clearer. If you're ready to smash silence, let Something Soft roar through your speakers.
