A coming of age spoken word and stark electronic record as David Balfe wrestles with the pressures of working class survival, the erosion of home, Irish identity and getting older. Stark yet inspiring. 

The second album from Dublin’s For Those I Love, Carving the Stone is a stark and stirring portrait of modern Irish life. Expanding the intimate world of his acclaimed debut, David Balfe turns his lens outward - grappling with the pressures of working-class survival, the erosion of home, and the passage of time. Set to soaring instrumentals and raw spoken word, this is his most direct, urgent work to date: a deeply human collection of songs rooted in memory, resistance, and emotional honesty.
