'Altar' is the second album from "Ireland's next great guitar band", and the third album from their prolific frontwoman Julie Dawson in less than 2 years. It's a grungey alt-rock future classic that jolts between anger-fueled anthemics on the one hand, and darkly intimate and melancholic introspection on the other. They've built a dedicated cult following with their acclaimed debut 'Madra' and if they're good enough for the godfather of goth they're good enough for you... "I liked the Newdad album, that's been on in my car for a long time" (Robert Smith)
