Their debut album Huartan was rated a 9/10 by Hot Press, who called the band “a bold and exciting statement of intent from one of Ireland's brightest new outfits.”

In December 2025, the band talked to Hot Press and discussed reaching back to a pre-colonised Ireland, their support of Palestine, paganism and more.

Tickets for Huartan in conversation with Stephen McCauley are priced £11.25 and are available here.
