CMAT: If My Wife New I'd Be Dead (CD)

CMAT’s idiosyncratic, captivating and rather extraordinary debut album takes the listener on a tour of the countless miniature kitchen sink dramas taking place at all times in CMAT’s head. We hear about dating (“my mental health is banking on my chastity, and you’re bad for me,” she sings in "No More Virgos"), solitude ("Lonely"), and the way booze and blokes each offer so much and deliver so little ("Every Bottle (Is My Boyfriend)"). Throughout, there are lyrics that find Ciara facing up to life’s challenges with the determination, endurance and strength of spirit you’d expect from a woman who survived several months working in the changing rooms at TK Maxx.

CMAT is a country / pop / singer-songwriter, Elle King meets Orville Peck. All songs written with a literary panache in true Irish tradition and with tons of wit.
