Irish duo Dea Matrona released their debut album, ‘For Your Sins’, in 2024 and instantly grabbed the attention of critics and fans alike with their high potential being immediately transformed into tangible credibility.
They’ve continued to elevate their brand over the past couple of years with impressive live shows and festival appearances. Now they are back with their second album, ‘Hate That I Care’ as they expand their sonic palette further.
Their sophomore album is a more sophisticated affair then their debut album. That record was a smorgasbord of style and influence whereas ‘Hate That I Care’ is a far more coherent album.
The album is again entirely written, produced and recorded by the band themselves in true DIY fashion. Mollie McGinn and Orláith Forsythe showcase their varied talents including covering all instruments themselves along with their elegant vocal interplay.
The results are that fabled more mature sound which is rooted in confidence and ability. Lyrically this follows suit with some of their most vulnerable and genuine work to date which fits into the more melodic and harmonious sound of the album.
This is clearly a band still growing and experimenting. Whilst this album might lack the immediate punch of their debut, if offers listeners a far more captivating time and ensures they remain a band you can’t afford to sleep on.
