Leipzig based Wexford twins The Ocelots have previewed their upcoming second album ‘Everything, When Said Slowly’, which is set for release in February 7th 2025 with The Frames-tinged new single ‘About You’.

“The title Everything, When Said Slowly is a response from an old Irish man’s perspective on people leaving our hometown of Wexford over the years past. He said it was a very long time since they left, but not much time if you said it fast. I found it wonderful and profound, but also deeply moving and fitting for the album’s sentiment. How time flies or drags depending on what you’re experiencing, especially when it’s time in a place you said goodbye to.”

‘Everything, When Said Slowly’ was produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy, Susan O’Neill) andexplores themes of Irish migration, the perception of time, love, and the simple joys of cycling.

To celebrate the release of the album The Oscelots have announced an Irish tour including a hometown show in Wexford the night the album is released and a show on St. Valentine’s Day in Whelan’s in Dublin.
