Seamus Fogarty

London-based Alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty is delighted to announce the release of his new album Ships.

Packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to DIY coffins, and existing in a wonderful new sonic realm where songs and stories coexist peacefully with fragmentary electronics, drones and field recordings, Ships is his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date. The first single from the album I Passed Your House has already made waves since its release, getting picked up by BBC 6 Music presenters Huw Stephens and Gideon Coe, and Radio 2's Marc Radcliffe. It also spent 2 weeks on RTE Radio 1's Recommends list in Ireland.

Born and raised on the west coast of Ireland but living in London since 2010, Seamus released his debut full-length 'God Damn You Mountain' on cult Scottish label Fence Records (King Creosote, Jon Hopkins) in 2012. This was followed by a pair of exceptional albums released via Domino Records - 2017's The Curious Hand ("magical amplified folk journeys through modern life" ★★★★★ - The Guardian) and 2020's A Bag Of Eyes. His most recent release, the Hee Haw EP, was released on Lost Map Records in 2023 with the lead single 'They Recognised Him' receiving high praise from a range of DJs and personalities across the BBC and beyond including Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy who singled it out for recommendation on his Limited Edition show on 6Music ('just brilliant').
