The album release follows the singles “Never Gone,” “Give Up,” “Call Me Back,” and “Things We Tell Ourselves,” and the announcement of an extensive tour across Ireland and North America.

Wide Open, Horses is a candid snapshot of everything that has brought McMorrow to this point. The album signifies a retaking of his narrative, a freeing self-acceptance, and a rebuilding of both his sense of self and his connection to music.

McMorrow says on the album, “To me, the album is about finding relief from the cycle of life’s pressure. I don’t think the theory ‘modernity equals better’ holds much water these days”.

Explaining, the musician adds: “The more technology we add, the more unhappy everyone seems to be. I don’t want to move backwards, but I felt a sense of nostalgia and happiness in the album.”

Tickets are on sale this Friday from 10am. For more info, and to book tickets, visit set.ticketsolve.com
