Irish musician Maria Somerville will share her forthcoming second album and debut project on 4AD, Luster, on 25 April.

Somerville shared the upcoming record’s third single, Stonefly, a slinky ambient waltz fleshed out with dreamy washes of vibrating feedback, grounding drum beats, transportive harp passages, and soothing vocal delivery. The track’s release is also accompanied by an atmospheric music video directed by Daniel Swan (who has past credits creating visuals for A.G. Cook’s PC Music, as well as Bladee and Yung Lean’s 2024 Psykos LP).
 
Over the last few months, Somerville further introduced Luster’s haunting tranquility and lush sonic backdrop with two other singles from the record: Garden (a whirring, all-consuming merger of soaring feedback, airy percussion, and nostalgic guitar chords produced by Diego Herrera, aka Suzanne Kraft) and Projections (a wistful and romantic shoegaze track drenched in longing via fuzzed-out bass and strummed guitar).

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
