A Litany of Failures is a compilation of Irish independent music that began with a four-track EP in 2016 and has grown into more than 20 songs for Volume IV, which has just been released. Put together by Danny Carroll, a solo artist in his own right, and Stevie Lennox, guitarist in Belfast's Junk Drawer, alongside Paul O'Connor (Licehead), it's a showcase of some of the wealth of talent spread across the country. We talk with Danny and Stevie about how A Litany of Failures began, how the compilations come together (length of a side of vinyl is important), how their own music is going, and then we talk through all of the acts featured on Volume IV, from M(h)aol to Mantua.

Eoghan is joined by Stevie and Jake Lennox of Belfast’s Junk Drawer, who released their second album Days of Heaven on June 6 via Pizza Pizza Records. Formed in 2015 alongside Brian Coney and Rory Dee, Junk Drawer blend Weezer-esque riffs, shoegaze and indie rock. 

Fresh off an eight-date tour of Ireland with Cola and M(h)aol, the brothers reflect on the DIY logistics of putting it all together, the origins of the band and the evolution of their sound, working with producer Chris Ryan, what it means to make "weird, cosmic Ulster music", playing SXSW, the Belfast music scene and lots more.
