Maruja


The many releases on New Music Friday yesterday included EPs by Porridge Radio (The Machine Starts to Sing) and Nels Cline (Slipping Into Something), as well as the albums Ghost/Spirit by Jules Reidy, Kind Regards by Oren Ambarchi, Volume 2 of John Zorn's Bagatelles, and The Equinox by Zorn's Painkiller. A good set of music, there.

Yesterday also saw the release of Tir na nÓg, the third EP by Manchester's Maruja, a fully improvised piece recorded live on September 12, 2024 at the U.K.'s Salford University. Maruja’s music is a ferocious combination of post-punk and free jazz. Although Tir na nÓg is primarily instrumental, their music typically also includes vocals with lyrics rooted in hip hop.

Check them out.
