EURO-COUNTRY by CMAT

EURO-COUNTRY, the third studio album from Irish musician CMAT, arrived on 29 August 2025 through CMATBaby and AWAL, following If My Wife New I'd Be Dead and Crazymad, for Me. Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, the Dublin-born artist behind the name, pitched it as a record about loss, pain and the loneliness of life under modern capitalism, and called it the best thing she has ever made.

It's country pop and indie pop with a big sense of humor, heartbreak and punchline landing in the same breath. The singles tell the story: "Running/Planning" first, then "Take a Sexy Picture of Me", whose video passed a million views inside a month, then "The Jamie Oliver Petrol Station". The title track opens with just over 40 seconds in Irish, which BBC Radio 1 trimmed on first play; the BBC said it had aired the radio edit the label supplied. "When a Good Man Cries" is the one that reached the countdowns.
