Sorcha Richardson at Aiteall

With her new album, Draw The Outline, Sorcha Richardson leans into the softness of abstraction. Originally from Dublin, Richardson spent nearly a decade living in New York before returning to Ireland, eventually moving from Dublin to West Kerry a couple of years ago. The latter is a place shaped by quiet, at the foot of a mountain and a short walk from the sea, where life moves at a slower pace. In that stillness, the album gradually took form. It was, as she puts it, “a nice place to be.” Moving outside of the metropolis noise, Richardson discovered that life’s fervency exists in a different form. Musically, it might play at lower volume, while poetically, it reveals itself in unassuming moments like swimming in August sunlight or illuminating car rides – fleeting scenes that glow quietly within.
