Nuala Kennedy and Eamon O'Leary: Hydra review sumptuous folk songs
Briefly

The recording of the album took place in an 18th-century carpet factory on Hydra, reflecting its lush, warm, and traditionally rich soundscapes.
Nuala Kennedy's flute and vocals bring a vibrant contrast, balancing beauty and urgency, while the rich instrumentals cover historical themes of love, work, and migration.
O'Leary's vocals, edged with New York influences, paired with lavish arrangements evoke late 60s folk-rock vibes that contribute to the album's depth and texture.
The album closes with strong collaborations that enhance rather than overwhelm the narrative, effectively adding layers of color and emotion to the traditional songs.
