Moundabout, the duo featuring Gnod's Paddy Shine and Phil Masterson follow the success of last year's album 'Flowers Rot, Bring Stone' with an incredible new long player called 'An Cnoc Mór' which is out now.
'An Cnoc Mór' is available on ltd edition Mushroom coloured vinyl via the link below or from all good record shops:

'Cnoc Mór na nGaibhlte' (or The Big Hill Of The Galtees) is an imposing sandstone and shale peak in Munster, from which vantage point the horizon retreats to impossible-seeming distances. A place Paddy and Phil chose as base camp for their latest expedition into a new form of psychedelic Irish folk music.
Getting lost in liminal zones, at thresholds, where boundaries merge is key to the Moundabout sound. "Moundabout has always been about getting out in the surroundings" says Phil, "Hiking, swimming, chatting and experimenting with certain substances. 'An Cnoc Mór' was recorded with all those influences… just minus the substances. Sun, snow, hail and wind, there was no choice but just to be out in it & be inspired."
