In summer 2020, Irish singer - songwriter Aoife Nessa Frances, a lifelong Dublin resident, moved to western Ireland to work on her sophomore album, Protector. Away from city life, she found peace and a stronger connection with family. Just before recording, her mother had a dream of Aoife with an Alsatian, symbolizing a protector's presence during her transformation. Aoife's music is far from traditional Irish folk. It's a layered chamber pop with psychedelic textures, influenced by Broadcast, Amen Dunes, Patti Smith, Radiohead, and Alice Coltrane, yet entirely her own. Across eight captivating tracks, Protector is a powerful act of restoration, drawing on universal pain and the power of connection. The music finds magic in nature, away from city chaos. This limited - edition album comes on white colored vinyl with a printed insert, released by Partisan Records in 2022.
Using this album is simple. Just place the white colored vinyl on your record player and start the music. Enjoy the unique sounds of Aoife Nessa Frances' Protector. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oil on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. When not in use, keep it in its sleeve to protect it from scratches. The printed insert can be kept flat to avoid creasing. And remember, this is a limited - edition item, so take good care of it to enjoy it for years to come.
