At the time, she said she had been inspired by the phrase ‘The English can’t remember history, while the Irish can’t forget it,’ and had been delving into her Irish heritage.

Now, she’s announced that the track is part of her upcoming album ‘Cailín’, which will be released on January 22 via Kill Rock Stars.

News of the album comes alongside a new single ‘Spilt Milk’, 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It was initially written about abortion law in Ireland, before they repealed the 8th in 2018.

“It’s 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,” she explained.

“With the overturning of Roe v Wade and women’s 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’d be expected to accept this.” ‘Spilt Milk’ comes alongside a Tom Beard-directed music video, which you can watch below.

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, ‘Cailín’ will see Nash intertwine punk protest songs with trad music, and explore themes of family, forgiveness, love, colonialism, inequality, religion, and internalised shame.
