Cú Chulainn II
The second watch. Ulster’s warrior earned his name by slaying the hound of Culann — then, to honor the debt, stood guard at the gate himself until a new hound could be raised. This record is that second watch.

The record
About Cú Chulainn II
This is the sixth time I’ve asked the Cullective to help me bring an album into the world. It’s the seventeenth time I’ve made one.
Every April 27 for twenty years, one more. And each time, a handful of you have made it possible — 269 of you across five preorder campaigns, nearly fifty thousand dollars, thousands of nights of studio. Cú Chulainn II opens for preorder on April 27, 2026.
A record about what it costs to keep a vow. To stay at the gate long after the first song is over. To build a second thing because the first meant too much to end.

Commission a custom tier
Want something specific that isn’t on the list — a custom painting, a private house show, a song about your dog, your name as a character in a track? Pitch it. I read every request and either build a custom tier for you, or write back with a counter-offer.
