Mongoose's upcoming sophomore album, Suck the Wound, is set to be launched in Whelan's on May 16.

Mongoose, comprised of Molly O’Mahony, Ailbhe Dunne, Muireann Ní Cheannabháin and Cara Dunne, made their debut in 2015 with their self-titled LP, which explored a variety of writing styles, influences and genre. Suck the Wound continues the band's genre-bending inclinations, but proves to be a darker piece of work than Mongoose.

Following the album launch at Whelan's, the band will embark on an Irish tour. Check out the full list of tour dates below:

May 17 – Cleere's, Kilkenny

May 23 – Coughlan's, Cork

May 25 – Roisin's Dubh, Galway

May 31 – Connolly's, Leap

June 6 – McHugh's, Belfast

June 14 – Dolan's, Limerick
