XN[pron. ox-en] exist at the uncharted intersection of its constituent parts, meldingLankums experimental doom folk (Radie Peat), the motorik euphoria ofPercolator(John Spud Murphy&Eleanor Myler) &Katie Kims glorious Lynchian meta-verse. They create a peerless new sound which exists somewhere between the traditional, the future and the eternal. Try to imagine the missing link between Enya, Ennio Morricone, Richard Dawson and Neu! And then add a pinch of something you never thought of and youll start to have a sense of this gloriously unique sonic universe which XN inhabit.

What began as a side project duo between Radie Peat & Katie Kim in 2018, blossomed into a full-on multi-textured tapestry, with the addition of Myler & Murphy during lockdown. This resulted in one of the streaming highlights of the Covid era with an unforgettable live performance from a Martello tower in Dublin in conjunction with visual artist & Lankum collaborator,Vicky Langan. Now they are set to release their highly anticipated debut albumCYRM.

CYRM[pron. sy-rum] was recorded by Murphy (Lankum/Black Midi/Junior Brother) at theHellfire Studiosin just 5 dizzying days in 2022 and set for release on the relaunched & rejuvenatedCladdagh Recordsin October 2023.
