AGENTMichaël Bardier
Ellie O’Neill is an artist from Co. Meath, Ireland, whose music weaves a rich, diverse and tender
landscape traversing raw, intuitive explorations of intimacy and loss, friendship and queer identity. Writing primarily with voice and acoustic guitar, her songs range from cyclical, meditative two-chord reveries to big-hearted, muscular, grungy confessionals. There is no singular epiphany in her work. Instead, her writing unfolds as an archive of memory and dreamstuff: an ongoing negotiation between what must be kept alive and what must be allowed
to die peacefully.
Merging lived experience with esoteric, dream-like symbolism, O’Neill’s songs resist neat narrative arcs. Repetition becomes a form of truth-telling. Often holding to just two or three chords for as long as they remain beautiful and alive, she will then pivot suddenly, turning in an entirely new direction. Romance and grief coexist in her music, sediment and shimmer braided together. Emotional truth remains at the forefront, even as fluid collaboration with band
members expands the scope and texture of her sound.
Her work also traces her coming into queerness during a period of profound cultural change in Ireland, from the legalisation of same-sex marriage to the repeal of the abortion ban. Many lyrics draw directly from memory, even verbatim conversations. Songwriting became a way to reclaim narrative space, to reestablish herself independently and without compromise. Even the
existence of these songs stands in defiance of clandestine love and refused desire.
Recently, O’Neill has toured widely across Ireland and the UK, both solo and as a collaborator. She has supported Adrianne Lenker and John Francis Flynn, and performed at Pitchfork London, Other Voices, End of The Road and Green Man Festival. In 2025 she was named one
of The Irish Times’ Artists to Watch for 2025. Now based in Dublin, O’Neill finds inspiration in the poems of Minnie Bruce Pratt, in laughter, in swimming in the sea. Her debut album ‘Time of Fallow’, is out on March 20th.
