Oisín Mod - Canary (2026)

Galway-born, Dublin-based songwriter Oisín Mod links with Bill Ryder-Jones for his second album, made in 12 days with drummer Phil Murphy after a month spent writing in a rundown house in West Cork. Where 2022 debut Honeycomb traded in sea-mist melancholy, these ten songs head somewhere murkier and more nocturnal, fed by Twin Peaks, John Healy’s memoir The Grass Arena and Rowland S. Howard. Ryder-Jones urged him to make a record “with a pair of shoulders”, and it shows, from the panicked throb of ‘Stained Glass House’ to the rueful closer ‘When The Heat Dies Down’.
