ØXN [pronounced ox-en] emerges from the uncharted realms of music, combining the experimental doom folk of Lankum’s Radie Peat with the euphoric motorik sound of Percolator’s John ‘Spud’ Murphy and Eleanor Myler, alongside Katie Kim’s enchanting Lynchian universe. This collaboration creates a truly unique sound that bridges the traditional with the futuristic. Imagine the essence of Enya, Ennio Morricone, Richard Dawson, and Neu! blended with unexpected elements, and you’ll begin to grasp the extraordinary sonic landscape ØXN inhabits.
Initially a side project between Radie Peat and Katie Kim in 2018, ØXN evolved into a rich, multi-layered tapestry with the addition of Myler and Murphy during the lockdown period. Their unforgettable live performance from a Martello tower in Dublin, in collaboration with visual artist and Lankum collaborator Vicky Langan, became a shining highlight of the Covid era. Now, they are excited to release their highly anticipated debut album, CYRM [pronounced sy-rum], recorded in just five whirlwind days at Hellfire Studios by Murphy, known for his work with Lankum, Black Midi, and Junior Brother.
Track Listing:
- Cruel Mother
- The Trees They Do Grow High
- Love Henry
- The Feast
- The Wife Of Michael Cleary
- Farmer In The City
