Irish singer-songwriter Sorcha Richardson has been cultivating a cult fanbase for several years. Songs such as ‘Ruin Your Night’, ‘Petrol Station’ and ‘Can’t We Pretend’ are evocative vignettes of a moment in time which find the poetry in introspection, with a tangible nod to key influences such as Sharon Van Etten, Arcade Fire, Phoebe Bridgers and Julia Jacklin.
Exuding passion and tender beauty in equal measure, her narrative songwriting connects with people who have shared similar tangled emotions - as evidenced by 22 million streams at Spotify alone.
Now Richardson is preparing to release the biggest artistic statement of her career with her forthcoming debut album. It’s a collection of lyrical snapshots of life as a twentysomething, accompanied by the desires, doubts and developments that the decade delivers.
"It's the hidden meaning in mundane moments,” she summarises. “Days that look like any other day and yet somehow you have this feeling that it's one you'll remember forever."
Its opening track ‘Honey’ encapsulates that feeling, with love emerging from out of nowhere without making any promises for the future. Richardson isn’t afraid to dig into her own psyche, as demonstrated by the set’s most immediate track ‘Don’t Talk About It’. A blur of spiky garage-rock, its energy masks a deeper meaning.
“It's about avoiding conflict and being too scared to admit to yourself that you're unhappy in a situation, because it feels easier to turn a blind eye to it than to have to deal with it head on,” she notes. “It's something I used to do all the time. The song's also very cathartic, like a victory lap for when you do learn to face your demons.”
That also informs Richardson’s personal favourite, ‘False Alarm’. Capturing the anxiety-fuelled “comedown of my New York fairytale”, a thickening maelstrom of instrumentation reflects the internal chaos of the moment.
It’s been a long road to reach this moment. Richardson left home for Brooklyn as a teenager to study
