Nollaig (Deluxe)

There is now a deluxe version with three bonus tracks—Joy to the World, White Christmas, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing!

They’re all recently recorded, so Eiméar is on here. She has a very interesting voice—one that actually reminds me a bit of Emma, but with a bit of a lighter tone!

I also believe Kate may be playing harp on White Christmas?

There’s a very interesting sound to this lineup…I don’t know if it’s the vocal direction or just the natural sound, but it’s a bit difficult to differentiate them…I can generally make out Muirgen, at least? Hopefully this is just my own ears adjusting to this lineup and not the mixing or whatever.

Overall, though, I enjoy the new songs, even if they’re not the style of music I’d generally gravitate towards. I’m sure that when December comes forth and Christmas is less of a marketing ploy and more of an actual impending event, I’ll appreciate this classic sound more.
