Seamus Fogarty - Ships (2026)

“Ships” is Seamus Fogarty’s first new collection of music since 2023’s “Hee Haw” EP (“Just brilliant” – Cillian Murphy, BBC6 Music) and is undoubtedly his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date. Channelling everything from Tortoise to early 90s hip hop, it’s packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on love, loss, trashy 19th century Russian literature, DIY coffins, cans on trains with strangers and so much more.

After an enthusiastic response to several new songs written in the wake of his last album, 2020’s “A Bag Of Eyes”, and performed while on tour with Lisa O’Neill around Ireland and the UK, Seamus enlisted the help of a range of esteemed collaborators longtime and new to bring this new collections of songs to life, including string-arranger Emma Smith (Pulp, Beth Gibbons), drummers Chris Vatalaro (Anohni, Radiohead) & Aram Zarikian (Grasscut), horn player Joe Auckland (Madness, Oasis) with additional production and engineering by Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Jon Hopkins) & Mike Lindsay (Tunng, Lump).
