Michael D. Higgins and Myles O’Reilly announce new album Migrants in Time

Former President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins and ambient artist Myles O'Reilly are joining forces once again – with the duo set to release their second spoken-word album, Migrants In Time, on November 27, via Claddagh Records.

To coincide with the announcement, they have shared 'The Prophets are Weeping', alongside a video by Ellius Grace.

The pair's debut LP, Against All Certainty, became the highest charting spoken-word album of all time in Ireland following its release last year – debuting at No.3 on the Irish Albums Chart.

After selling out their album launch show at the National Concert Hall, Michael D. Higgins and Myles O Reilly have gone on to perform at Hot Press's 'History In The Making' concert at the 3Arena, as well as Other Voices in Dingle.

Migrants In Time is made up of 11 poems by Michael D. Higgins – including pieces addressing Gaza and climate crisis – set to a musical backdrop by Myles O'Reilly.

The album is available to pre-order in various formats now.
