About Me

Hot Press - Album review 9/10
Mütter is full of meticulous attention to sonic detail. Helmed by husband Kieran Kennedy, the production is astounding -referencing everybody from Sigur Ros to Sandy Denny and the Cocteau Twins. …………It’s also an album that is unafraid to explore the darker side of life, from the very first line of Unbelievable onwards. Six long years to wait but worth every minute.
Irish Examiner -
Headphones should come free with Maria Doyle Kennedy’s brilliant album Mütter, a dreamlike ode to solitude. Mütter is 46 minutes of unrelenting minor keys with barely a major chord in view. This album sounds brilliant. The guitar riffs are out of this world. Mütter will scratch past the flesh and touch the heart of anyone fostering even an ounce of rebellion in their souls.
Irish Times - ****
Maria Doyle Kennedy’s back with a humdinger of a solo album, reeking tales of ordinary madness against a soundtrack of blood and guts, hearts and bones………………….MDK yet again proves that she’s the elastagirl of rock music: agile enough to turn obstacles into bridges, both musically and emotionally.p
