Irish band Under Starling have steadily built a reputation as a standout name in the indie scene, delivering vibrant soundscapes and emotionally-charged tracks. Their long-awaited debut album 'Murmurations' marks a significant milestone in their journey, consolidating years of creative growth into one deeply evocative full-length release. Known for their ability to balance raw emotion with sweeping musicality, Under Starling have crafted a record that is both hauntingly beautiful and strikingly powerful.
Featuring 'The Hunger', a track inspired by the harrowing legacy of the Great Irish Famine, 'Murmurations' immediately taps into a vein of intense emotional depth. Each song feels like a distinctive chapter, weaving together moments of tender vulnerability with bursts of passion at its core. True to its title, the album feels like a flock in motion—ebbing and flowing between delicate introspection and dark, stormy intensity. It’s a body of work where light and shadow coexist, creating a tension that gives the record its uniquely dynamic quality.
'Murmurations' may have been a long time in the making, but it was clearly worth the wait. Every track feels meticulously crafted yet unrestrained, as if Under Starling poured their very essence into the music. This debut LP is a stunning showcase of their artistry and an unforgettable listening experience that solidifies their place as one of Ireland’s more compelling musical forces.
