Driven Snow

Fresh from releasing four singles already this year, Irish duo Driven Snow will release their spectacular second album, Mother of Christ, due September 2026, followed by a special Irish tour in wonderful intimate Irish venues. Driven Snow centres around husband-and-wife duo Kieran McGuinness and Emily Aylmer, whose musical careers grew from their respective roles in Delorentos and Republic of Loose. Their dreamy pop tunes and vocal harmonies grew out of songs penned late at night, while their three children were fast asleep. The couple took these moments of stillness and formed the foundation of their intimate sound. New Album Mother Of Christ (Sept 2026) was Recorded and mixed by Tommy McLaughlin (Villagers, Soak, Altan, Ailbhe Reddy) at his Attica Studios base in the wilds of Donegal, and mastered by Richard Dowling (WAV Mastering), the album, alongside already released singles I Wasn’t Looking For You, Dawn Chorus, Knots and Slowly, Gently is a powerful statement about family, life, loss, and joy. The band’s 2024 debut album, A Kind of Dreaming, was met with widespread acclaim and described as “Sublime” (Irish Times), “Bewitching” (Irish Independent), and “An album to luxuriate in” (Hot Press). Coverage and features in Sunday Times Magazine, Irish Independent and Hot Press Magazine, alongside national playlists on RTÉ and BBC NI, saw the duo’s audience grow steadily across Ireland, the UK, Europe and as far afield as the USA, Canada, South Africa and Mexico. Accessible, honest and deeply felt, Mother of Christ is set to unfold like an open diary you’ve been trusted to hold. To celebrate the album's release, Driven Snow will embark on a nationwide Irish tour this autumn,
