TPOE 281: Reylta

The Point of Everything

Galway singer-songwriter Reylta says she wanted her debut album Everything Unsaved Will Be Lost to feel like a Gaeltacht experience. So the recording was done in a remote cottage in Donegal which Seamus Heaney and fellow poets and creatives have frequented over the years. Producer Darragh Nolan uprooted his home studio from Gorey, Co Wexford, and brought it up to Donegal for the occasion, where a whirlwind recording process ensued. The result is an album that's funny and dark at the same time, a record of duality that spotlights an up-and-coming Irish artist at home in myriad styles and genres. On this episode, Reylta talks about the recording process, the experiences that have formed it, the musical education from working in The Temple Bar, and we go through Everything Unsaved Will Be Lost track by track.
