£24.99 – Limited 180G Red LP In Embossed Sleeve

ØXN (pron. ox-en) exist at the uncharted intersection of its constituent parts, melding Lankum’s experimental doom folk (Radie Peat), the motorik euphoria of Percolator (John ‘Spud’Murphy’ and Eleanor Myler) and Katie Kim’s glorious Lynchian meta-verse. They create apeerless new sound which exists somewhere between the traditional, the future and the eternal. Try to imagine the missing link between Enya, Ennio Morricone, Richard Dawson and Neu! And then add a pinch of something you never thought of and you’ll start to have a sense of this gloriously unique sonic universe which ØXN inhabit

What began as a side project duo between Radie Peat and Katie Kim in 2018, blossomed intoa full-on multi-textured tapestry, with the addition of Myler and Murphy during lockdown. This resulted in one of the streaming highlights of the Covid era with an unforgettable live performance from a Martello tower in Dublin in conjunction with visual artist and Lankum collaborator, Vicky Langan. Now they release their highly anticipated debut album CYRM.

CRYM (pron. sy-rum] was recorded by Murphy (Lankum/Black Midi/Junior Brother) at the HellfireStudios in just 5 dizzying days in 2022 and set for release on the relaunched & rejuvenated Claddagh Records.
