MAIJA SOFIA SAINT AQUINAS

Maija Sofia is a boundary-pushing alt-folk artist from the rural west of Ireland. ‘Saint Aquinas’ is a track born from reflections on late-night drives. The end result is something mysterious and full of heart; a track driven by its well-crafted chord sequences and perfectly balanced melodies and lyrics. Alongside this fantastic new single, Maija Sofia has announced the release of her incredible second album, True Love, via TULLE. “Writing these songs was a practice of mysticism, of trying to make sense of the unknown and of letting go, I’m so happy to be letting them into the world at last,” she explains. Check out the raw, transformative record now. -Dan Peeke
