about

Thing of the Earth is Réalta's third studio album and features a wide variety of music, from traditional instrumental dance tunes to newly composed songs. They've taken their core sound of wind, strings, reeds and drum and developed it, adding breadth and depth to their music. Guest singer-songwriter Myles McCormack adds a flavour of folk to the mix, making this a truly cross-genre album, and the inclusion of special guest vocalist Cathy Jordan on their first single further demonstrates their empathetic and cohesive approach to collaboration. The result is a beautifully varied, balanced and creative recording.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

McMullan's playing is remedy for the hyped up, tickity-tackity playing you hear a lot these days. I hope to God I will never hear "Clumsy Lover" again, but if I do I pray it is Chris playing it. Rusty Gully
