(Irish for 'Sound') is the sixth album by Irish group Clannad. It was released in 1982 by Tara Records, and produced by Nicky Ryan. Like their other early material, it is primarily Irish traditional music in a modern-folk and folk rock arrangement with some jazz elements.

It was the second and last Clannad album to feature younger sister , later known as Enya, and the only one to credit her; while she performed keyboard and backing vocals on the previous album , she was uncredited on it. She departed the band, along with producer Ryan, shortly thereafter to begin a solo career.

The album was reissued for a short time by Atlantic Records starting in 1993. It has since been remastered and reissued on 7 August 2020 in both compact disc and vinyl formats, on the Tara label.

This track is unusual, for Clannad's repertoire, in being in Scottish Gaelic rather than Irish; it is a traditional Scottish waulking song, according to the album's liner notes.
