Show Notes
Eithne Ní Chatháin aka Inni-K released her fourth album Still a Day on September 26 via Green Willow Records. She describes it as her most sweeping and emotionally charged work yet, moving with a deeper gravity and startling clarity. Working with producer Seán Mac Erlaine (synths, woodwinds) and Matthew Jacobson (drums, percussion), Eithne wrote the album in the aftermath of a breakup.
She says: “Songs help. These songs really helped me - they accompanied me through a very emotionally difficult time. I wrote this album because I needed to more than anything." It is music stocked with experience and steeped in flow, alive with the invisible direction life takes.
On this episode of the TPOE podcast, we talk about the evolution of her sound, the influence of traditional Irish music, the creative process behind Still a Day, touring in Germany, the joy of collaboration, and the importance of artistic freedom.

Loah released her debut album Materia Medica on June 5. She says: "The ambition was to create a hypermodern body of work that sonically exemplifies the changing definition of what Irishness is, what femininity is and indeed what musical ‘genre’ is and its flexibility in the modern context. We have many excellent producers and musicians on this album - it is a collage of sound!"
