Nights To Forget

"A potent songwriter, whose work is so emphatically nuanced, so wonderfully broad, her new album is a multi-layered, highly textual feast."(CLASH Magazine) "Creative, intriguing and quickly becoming one of 2020’s most exciting albums." (For The Rabbits) "Wry bedroom pop" (Uncut Magazine) 'Nights To Forget' is the much-anticipated second album from Scottish Album of the Year Award nominated Glasgow-based Irish singer-songwriter Claire McKay, AKA Martha Ffion. Set for release on August 14, 2020 on 12” vinyl and via digital platforms, it’s a bold and exciting departure from her previous work, embracing Claire’s love of envelope-pushing contemporary pop, forgoing the storytelling of her debut album Sunday Best in favour of personal reflections on loss, letting go, looking forward and the futility of nostalgia. The album is preceded by the singles ‘After the Fact’ and ‘Want You To Know’, both of which are available to stream and share now. Produced by Dave Frazer and recorded at his home studio in Glasgow, 'Nights to Forget' finds Claire pondering on everything from politics, feminism and depression to David Attenborough, and channelling her love of artists from St. Vincent and Roisin Murphy to Anderson .Paak and Grimes, on a mission to make a record that she wanted to hear, rather than a record that felt like an obvious follow-on from its predecessor. 'Nights To Forget' has been supported by the Momentum Music Fund. Momentum is managed by the PRS Foundation, with support from PPL, Creative Scotland, the Arts Council of Wales, the Welsh Government, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Invest NI and Spotify.
