On 25th September, Irish / Sierra Leonean singer-songwriter releases the vinyl edition of her long-anticipated, critically acclaimed debut album Materia Medica.
The Irish / Sierra Leonean singer-songwriter Loah releases her long-anticipated debut album "Materia Medica", a record that’s been in the making for the last 5 years.
The album’s name “Materia Medica” comes from an ancient pharmacology textbook about healing plants – a reference to the healing nature of music and Loah’s own journey in both the healing and the creative arts, having trained as a qualified pharmacist in addition to her work as a musician and actor.The album is a culmination of the wide range of influences and collaborations that Loah has brought into her work as a musician over the course of more than a decade, having co-produced it with her close collaborators Brian Dillon (of Meltybrains? and The Line) and Daniel Forde. It features the likes of Eoin French (Talos), Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu, Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, her sister Fehdah, Gambian kora player Suntou Susso, harpist Allanah Thornbourgh, producer Ben Bix (Meltybrains?), drummer Dylan Lynch (Soda Blonde, Little Green Cars), and the Crash Ensemble amongst other musicians and producers, along with samples of 16th century lute music and Rachmaninoff to more contemporary sounds like 808 and Afrobeats.
The vinyl comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve, with stunning photography by Susannah Appleby, calligraphy by Sarah O'Dea and design by Nico Tracey.
"full of soft vocals, delicate melodies and drowsily languorous, enveloping music" – The Irish Times"Loah channels the experience of being raised between two cultures into a deeply personal yet outward-looking debut that is rooted in history yet unmistakably modern." – Totally Dublin
