“Between Your Teeth” is a promising preview for the upcoming album of Dublin artist Ailbhe Reddy. Reddy is already known and beloved for her rich alto voice, equally adept at conversational lyrics and soaring, aching hooks. At upcoming album “Personal History” Ailbhe Reddy combines her qualities with a more indie rock style, without losing the folkhewn roots of her sound.
