Back in April, Nash shared\u00a0a poignant cover<\/a> of Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Famine\u2019. At the time, she said she had been inspired by the phrase \u2018The English can\u2019t remember history, while the Irish can\u2019t forget it,\u2019 and had been delving into her Irish heritage.<\/p>\n

Now, she\u2019s announced that the track is part of her upcoming album \u2018Cail\u00edn\u2019, which will be released on January 22 via Kill Rock Stars. You can pre-order it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

News of the album comes alongside a new single \u2018Spilt Milk\u2019, which explores the current reproductive rights crisis facing women and minority groups. It was initially written about abortion law in Ireland, before they repealed the 8th in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about not having control over your own body, not being listened to and feeling like the powers that be are getting bigger, scarier and more crushing,\u201d she explained. \u201cWith the overturning of Roe v Wade and women\u2019s sexual health rights being rolled back in the US this song feels pertinent to today. The song questions why the female voice is so ignored and why we\u2019d be expected to accept this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Spilt Milk\u2019 comes alongside a Tom Beard-directed music video, which you can watch below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As with the two singles, the album will explore Irish culture. Nash holds dual nationality and has spent time exploring her Irish heritage. Per a press release, \u2018Cail\u00edn\u2019 will see Nash intertwine punk protest songs with trad music, and explore themes of family, forgiveness, love, colonialism, inequality, religion, and internalised shame.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the album, Nash said: \u201cAll my earliest musical memories were in Ireland: live music in the pub, going to Sharon Shannon gigs, seeing the best accordion player you\u2019ve ever seen and it\u2019s a bored-looking eight-year-old boy in a puffer jacket. There\u2019s a natural respect for musicians as it\u2019s embedded into the fabric of everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tracklist for Kate Nash\u2019s \u2018Cail\u00edn\u2019 is:<\/p>\n

\u2018I Guess I Never Learnt A Thing\u2019
\u2018Cail\u00edn\u2019
\u2018Freedom of Me\u2019
\u2018Famine\u2019
\u2018Spilt Milk\u2019
\u2018Wild Atlantic Way\u2019
\u2018Crying\u2019
\u2018Irish Saints\u2019
\u2018P\u00f3g Mo Th\u00f3in\u2019
\u2018Lady Gregory\u2019
\u2018Pay Up\u2019
\u2018Christmas Eve\u2019<\/p>\n

News of the album follows Nash making headlines at the end of 2024 when she\u00a0launched her \u2018Butts for Tour Buses\u2019 campaign<\/a>, which saw her join OnlyFans to protest the music industry and help raise money for her\u00a0UK and European tour.<\/a><\/p>\n

She then took things one step further, and used the\u00a0\u201cbum on the back of a fire truck\u201d campaign to head to the London offices of Live Nation, Spotify<\/a>, and the Houses of Parliament to protest the challenges facing both new and established artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that touring is making losses, not profit,\u201d\u00a0she told\u00a0NME\u00a0about the push to raise awareness and spark change<\/a>. \u201cThe grassroots is in absolute crisis. Venues are closing, festivals are being cancelled. People are thinking, \u2018What\u2019s the point in starting a band?\u2019 and \u2018How can I as an artist carry on?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the changes she hopes to see with the campaign, she added: \u201cWe need the government\u2019s help, and we need it now. Lisa Nandy, the secretary of state for Culture, Media and Sport, has actually been amazing speaking to Live Nation and has been talking a lot about music in Parliament. Last month, she said to the music industry: \u2018If you don\u2019t do something, we\u2019re going to be forced to act\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing an artist can do is fight for a better future. The one thing I\u2019d really like to leave behind is to have made some kind of positive dent on this industry. I think I can make that dent with my bum.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Nash has announced a new album, \u2018Cail\u00edn\u2019, and released a powerful new single, \u2018Spilt Milk\u2019.
