An album infused with the essence of Ireland's West Coast...
25 · 09 · 2025
Olan Monk is set to release a new album titled ‘Songs For Nothing’ on November 7th.
The artist returned to their home in Conamara during the album's creation, allowing the spirit of Ireland's West Coast to permeate the work.
Scheduled for release on November 7th, this album marks a departure from Olan’s earlier electronic-focused projects, leaning instead towards vaporous dream pop, intense shoegaze, and elements of the sean-nós singing tradition of Ireland.
The 10-track album will be available through AD 93, a label currently enjoying remarkable success, and it kicks off with the new single ‘Down 3’.
The single, which is now available, combines gothic elements with reflections of the past while looking towards the future, featuring vocals from fellow Conamara artist Maria Somerville.
The video for ‘Down 3’, directed by Charlie Joe Doherty, is available for viewing now.
