Galtee Virtual Muse

Elaine Malone is an Irish musician whose recent releases include the debut full-length Pyrrhic and a collaboration with Roy Montgomery, and has also played with Soft Focus, Pôt-Pot, and improvising group Géis. Like the music released under her own name, Mantua's third album is rooted in psychedelia, shoegaze and dream pop, but with a more lo-fi approach, delving into murkier subterranean depths. "Galtee Virtual Muse was created in two great furious romantic bursts. It is the consequence of heartbreak and hope. Autoharp, organ, guitar, keyboards, drum machines and channelling, all by Elaine Malone".
