The fifth volume of the independent Irish compilation series A Litany of Failures, featuring alternative acts from all corners of the island is set for release on double vinyl and digitally on October 10th 2025.

The 21-track double vinyl-set aims to document the contemporary experimental Irish music scene. Choice Music Prize nominated artist RÓIS, Elaine Malone and Landless are the best-known artists on display with contributions from fast-rising groups such as I Dreamed I Dream and Stratford Rise.

The project was conceived as a way that DIY and independent artists could come together, collaborate and support each other in trying to take their own snapshot of the Irish music community, to be preserved for posterity while creating a quality product that could be deemed “Export Ready” in the modern Music-BizTM parlance.
