Poor Creature - All Smiles Tonight (Vinyl)

All Smiles Tonight is the debut album from Dublin trio Poor Creature, comprising Ruth Clinton (Landless), Cormac Mac Diarmada (Lankum) and John Dermody (The Jimmy Cake, Lankum live). Produced by John "Spud" Murphy and released in 2025 on River Lea, it reimagines eight traditional songs through drones, trip hop rhythms and psychedelic textures, from the pulsing emigrant lament 'Adieu Lovely Erin' to a haunted reading of 'The Whole Town Knows', the country classic made famous by Philomena Begley and Ray Lynam. The Irish Times awarded it five stars and named it a contender for album of the year, while Hot Press called it a "supernova debut."
