Hilary Woods

**Hilary Woods** is an Irish musician, composer and analogue filmmaker whose work spans a wide range of sonic, compositional, improvisational, filmic, literary and experimental practices.

Her new album, Night CRIÚ, released on Sacred Bones at the end of 2025, features additional production by Dean Hurley, David Lynch’s longtime sound designer, and has received outstanding critical acclaim, including a three-page feature in The Wire. After two critically acclaimed instrumental records, Night CRIÚ is a disarming and unflinching dirge of feeling weaving Woods’ sonic sensibilities in processed noise, tape and field recordings through the form of seven exquisitely crafted songs where her voice and lyrical prowess emerge to the fore. Live, Hilary has already confirmed key festival appearances at CTM and Rewire 2026, after her sold-out Cafe OTO show in London, with tickets selling out one month in advance.

Hilary is a truly multidisciplinary artist. She thrives in projects that allow her to seamlessly cross artistic disciplines. On stage, she performs in multiple configurations; she’s currently focusing on performances of her new album, blending structured compositions with improvisation, all within a striking visual framework.
