We’re delighted to be working with The Ocelots for the first time!

The Ocelots are twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford, Ireland.

Building on the folk-rock essence of their debut, the duo are excited to announce the release of their second album, Everything, When Said Slowly, on 7 February 2025. This album unveils a richer, more expansive sound, produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy, Susan O’Neill).

The narrative woven throughout the album explores themes of Irish migration, the perception of time, love, and the simple joys of cycling.

To support the album, the band are delighted to take the road in the UK for a string of dates around its release.

Support comes from The Memory Club. The Memory Club are a young indie-folk group based in Manchester. Utilising gorgeous harmony and brutally honest lyricism, the small collective relay a great deal of sentiment with a unique and playful charm.
