ØXN 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. Try to imagine the missing link between Enya, Ennio Morricone, Richard Dawson and Neu! and add a pinch of something you never thought of and you’ll start to have a sense of this gloriously unique sonic universe which they inhabit.

What began as a side project duo between Radie Peat and Katie Kim in 2018 blossomed into a 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 – an unforgettable live performance from a Martello tower in Dublin in conjunction with visual artist and Lankum collaborator, Vicky Langan.  

Their rather astonishing debut album ‘CYRM’, recorded by Murphy at Hellfire Studios, will be available on vinyl & CD from Fri 27th October and features the singles ‘Love Henry’ with an unforgettable & epic folk horror video directed by Katie Kim & Thom MCDermott and ‘Cruel Mother’ backed by a deeply arresting video featuring the great Olwen Fouéré and directed by Ellie Myler & Thom McDermott.
