Sparklecore purveyour AILSHA is back with an exciting new concoction of alternative and prog-metal which laments the everyday life of the artist's pet cat, Nugget.

Boasting three legs and a tonne of attitude, 'MEOW' describes Nugget's demands for constant affection and her persistent pursuit of endless attention.

Accompanying the release is a rollicking visualiser which sees AILSHA - aka Ailsha Davey - prowling Dublin's streets in full feline garb, from top to tail. The video was filmed by Angel Croitor and edited by Davey herself.

Donning black cat ears, sharp eye liner and white whiskers, we see the singer striding confidently down Grafton St, detouring to Dame Lane, while belting the rip-roaring lyrics.

"'MEOW' was a fun song to create and was inspired by my cat Nugget's constant demands for attention," AILSHA says. "I wanted to write the song from her perspective which I feel applies to most pets- they're only here for a short time, but a good time, and within that short time we become their whole world.

"I wanted to sing/scream the lyrics in a way I imagine she would if she could and I tried things with my vocals that I hadn't tried in a track before. It's definitely the heaviest song yet and already a hit at my live shows - I can't wait for people to hear this one."
