The self-titled album ‘Air in the lungs’, released 28th April 2023 with Last night from Glasgow.
The album is an atmospheric exploration into bereavement and nostalgia, covering subjects such as worker’s rights, adversity and hope. Upbeat, downbeat, with swelling synths, jagged guitars and atmospheric percussion, it is unafraid to be stark and bare, yet vivid and uplifting.
Deborah recorded the album with with multi-instrumentalist Pat McGarvey (Southern Tenant, Coal Porters, The Arlenes) leading percussionist Rich Kass (Trio HLK, Evelyn Glennie) and Davey McAulay (Mogwai, King Creosote and Emma Pollock). It was produced by Paul Savage (The Delgados, Mogwai, The Twilight Sad) at Chem19 studios and funded by Creative Scotland.
Deborah is delighted to be joined by Pat McGarvey and Steve Ironside (Southern Tenant) on synth with MJ McCarthy (Album Club) on lead guitar for their live gigs.
Deborah is also known for her enchanting vocals and musicianship in well-loved and critically-acclaimed band Blueflint.
