Having spent 14 years touring around the world playing viola in classical ensembles Comerford returned to Kilkenny and set to work recording her own songs for forthcoming album Knots blending folk music with classical styles performing the entirety of the album & producing on her own. Following debut single release He Knows released in March of this year, Knots continues with richly textured compositions coupled with softly delivered emotive vocals that breeze gently creating a captivating listen.
Commenting on the new single Comerford explains "Knots is a song I wrote about anxiety, something we all struggle with at one time or another. At the time, I was going through a stage of intense anxiety. I worried about the fact that I hadn’t released any music, about whether people would enjoy my songs or not and also overanalyzed every little thing I had ever done wrong. I wasn’t sleeping properly and found I was lying awake at night replaying old conversations and feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
Anxiety is an extremely isolating thing because when you’re in it, you believe that you are the only person who feels like this. I think it’s powerful when people can speak about their own struggles and maybe eventually it will help us all feel less alone."
