Old Earth

Rory Sweeney returns in 2025 with his 2nd album, ‘Old Earth’, set for release on October 24th. Beautiful, tense, existential and playful all at once, ‘Old Earth’ is Sweeney at his most dazzling and undefineable. The album is heavily inspired by Stone Tape Theory, which posits that ghosts, hauntings and supernatural phenomena are the result of events being imprinted into the land. Sweeney uses the memory of the land and his own personal memory to reflect on accelerating tech capitalism, hauntological non places of modern ireland, the irish otherworld and personal moments, playing with anacronism and physical sound.
