This Friday will see the release of two new songs, taken from a forthcoming EP.

Friday sees the release of the first new music from Talos since his passing in August of this year. Eoin French, known as Talos, was an indie electronic musician from Cork.

The news of the new releases comes via the artist’s Instagram page. Tracks ‘Baltimore’ and ‘Matter’ will be available to stream and download this Friday, November 22. Both songs are taken from a forthcoming four-track EP made with Atli Örvarsson, called Sun Divider.

The post stated “It was Eoin’s wish that the various projects he was working on prior to his passing would be released - ‘Sun Divider’ is the first of three projects that will see the light of day”.

It also revealed details regarding the EP release. “‘Baltimore’ and ‘Matter’ will be available to stream and download this Friday, November 22. Pre-save at the link in bio. The full ‘Sun Divider’ EP is out on December 06. A physical edition of the EP, pressed on crystal clear 12” vinyl, is available to pre-order now via the link in bio, shipping worldwide around December 06”.

Cork musician French grew up on the North side of the city, before studying architecture in University College Cork. His stage name is a reference to the mythical Talos, a giant automaton made of bronze that protected Crete.

The artist achieved many major musical career milestones including three albums; Wild Alee, Far Out Dust and Dear Chaos, which was released in October 2022. Talos was nominated for a Choice Music Prize in 2013 for his debut LP Wild Alee.
