The Ocelots are twin brothers Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford, now residing in Leipzig, Germany. Building on the folk-rock essence of their debut, the duo are excited to announce the release of their highly anticipated second album, Everything, When Said Slowly, set for February 2025. This album unveils a richer, more expansive sound, masterfully produced by long-time collaborators Cillian and Lorcan Byrne (Ailbhe Reddy, Susan ONeill). The narrative woven throughout the album explores themes of Irish migration, the perception of time, love, and the simple joys of cycling. “The title: Everything, When Said Slowly” is a response from an old Irish mans 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 albums sentiment. How time flies or drags depending on what youre experiencing, especially when its time in a place you said goodbye to.” CD Tracks: The Lighthouse / About You / Landlords / Australia / Joy Outside / The Good of a Bad Year / Front Door key / Fool To Want You / Tunnels / innocent of Love / Invisible Cities
