Cork band Boa Morte take the space for a fourth album

Boa Morte: fourth album sees the Cork band continue to shift shapes

So, the arrival of the band’s fourth album, The Total Space, in less than a mere four years would suggest that Covid-19 gave them the total space to concentrate on writing and recording. 

But in a surprising twist, the recent wave of lockdowns delayed their latest offering by six months as they sought to schedule time with a producer.
