The frontman of 'Tir na nóg', Harry Wilkinson, says 'Tir na nóg' represents 'Maruja in its rawest and purest form'. Maruja's music is mainly improvised. Their recordings capture those live - performance moments when, as drummer Jacob Hayes says, 'things reach another level - the flow state' that Rick Rubin highly recommends. Maruja discuss spirituality like the great jazz musicians of the past, such as John Coltrane. The pre - debut album 'Tir na nóg' is a fully improvised continuous music suite divided into four movements. Saxophonist Joe Carroll explains that when improvising, they often enter a flow state where time perception changes. Most of their music is born from these states. This 4 - track EP was fully improvised and recorded live at New Adelphi Recording Studios. It comes in a black vinyl pressing with a printed insert. Originally released in 2025, it's under the label Music For Nations 2025.
Using this Maruja's 'Tir Na Nog' vinyl LP is easy. Just put it on your record player and enjoy the improvised music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If there are any fingerprints or dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static record brush to gently clean it. The printed insert can be kept in a safe place to avoid damage. Remember, this is a piece of musical art, so handle it with care and savor the unique improvised music.
