The critically acclaimed CYRM by ØXN, repressed on a Limited Edition 180g Red Coloured Vinyl with embossed cover. Mastered and Recut by Grammy & Multi-platinum award-winning Mastering Engineer Kevin Tuffy, & pressed at Pallas Germany. 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’ & Eleanor Myler) & Katie Kim’s glorious Lynchian meta-verse. They create a peerless new sound which exists somewhere between the traditional, the future and the eternal.
2023 was a very healthy year for Irish folk with some exquisite releases from Lankum, Lisa O’Neill and John Francis Flynn and this by ØXN which can be described as no less than utterly astonishing, satisfyingly bewitching, thick with doom and rich with tales and intrigue. Prepare yourself to be completely floored by tracks like ‘Cruel Mother’ and ‘The Trees They Do Grow High’. If you love Lankum, you’ll love ØXN – in fact the singer, Radie Peat, is in both bands.
