Trá Pháidín have announced their fourth album Cloch 's Claí, set to be released via World of Echo on September 25, 2026.

The band have released the lead single 'An Béal Bocht' ahead of the upcoming album. It is the band's first record to be released via the London-based indie label World of Echo. The collective of musicians, active since 2019, have mainly self-released music.

Cloch 's Claí (Stone and Wall) comprises of ten songs that draw from styles of improvisation, ornamentation and accompaniment in traditional Irish music. Themes of housing, tokenism and gentry politics are explored in this album, "reflective of a hushed existentialism from the West of Ireland."
