FOUR | FOUR Sign First International Artist

The new ABC owned record label FOUR | FOUR continues to grow and grow, announcing the signing of their first international act: Irish folk artist Damien Dempsey.

Dempsey joins the roster to release his sixth studio album Almighty Love, featuring the guest sounds of Sinead O'Connor, Justin Adams and London-based poet Kate Tempest to name a few.

His folk tunes gained him many awards in Ireland, charitable collaborations, including with Swell Season and Once-front man Glen Hansard, and the opportunity to record the record with London-based John Reynolds, who has worked with U2 and Sinead herself.

Dempsey is no stranger to Australian shores, headlining the Sydney Opera House as a member of Brian Eno's 2009 Luminous Festival, and is believed to have written parts of Almighty Love while holidaying Down Under and in Thailand.

The record is reported to be more confident and mature than the 37-year-old's prior releases, and joins the likes of Tim Rogers, Boy In A Box, The Snowdroppers and The Tiger & Me at FOUR | FOUR.

Almighty Love will be released on the October 5.
