Ogre

While It Lasts

The Nation Mourns is the musical brain child of Irish songwriter Neil O Shea. Growing up with a wide range of blues and rock influence, it was the haunting timbre of artist such as Tom Waits, Nick Drake, and Jackson C Frank drew him to songwriting. His Song-craft leads to lyrics of landscapes and leaving for home. While subtle melancholic melodies draw you ever further into the music. 

"[The Nation Mourns’] gift for storytelling is clear to see" 
Hot Press Magazine

"‘Ogre’ is a hypnotic listen that makes the ground you’re walking on wobble. Neil O Shea’s voice is brimming with so much emotion, it’s difficult not to be completely consumed by this record."
Chalkpit Records

"I’m not even in a cup of tea, listen to folk music mood and I’ve stopped dead on this tune. Delighted to announce that Ireland has another huge prospect"
The Sound Sniffer

"a signature sound that takes accepted musical norms, turns them on their head and grabs them by the scruff of the neck."
