Killian Walsh Shares New Single ‘Let’s Play Bongos’ Ahead of Upcoming Album ‘Ise’

Experimental electronic artist and multi-instrumentalist Killian Walsh returns with new single ‘Let’s Play Bongos’, the latest track to be taken from his forthcoming album, ‘Ise’. Following the emotionally reflective first single ‘Let’s Float’ featuring Elise SW, the new release captures a different side of the album’s wider journey, embracing movement, release and reconnection through music.

‘Let’s Play Bongos’ reflects a point of transition within the album’s wider narrative. The track emerged from a period shaped by grief and emotional change, and channels moments where colour and energy slowly began to return. Built around hypnotic rhythms, analogue textures and a sense of freedom, the release draws influence from outdoor rave culture, communal experiences and the escapism found in music and dance.

Killian Walsh comments:

“There was a point where I started to realise my world was going from black and white back into colour a little bit, and I just wanted to dance, and to forget about life and what was going on. ‘Let’s Play Bongos’ is about those times going to raves with bonfires, people juggling and dancing around the fire. That’s what this song is about. I hope people enjoy it.”

As part of the wider body of work presented across ‘Ise’, ‘Let’s Play Bongos’ highlights Killian Walsh’s ability to move fluidly between emotional introspection and expansive electronic production. Drawing upon elements of Ambient, House, Trance and Techno alongside influences from traditional Irish music, the track continues to build the sonic identity of the forthcoming album while introducing a rhythmic and celebratory energy.

The forthcoming album ‘Ise’ was created during a deeply transformative period in Killian Walsh’s life following the deaths of his wife and father. What began as an unplanned creative outlet gradually evolved into a full-length project documenting grief, reflection and personal renewal. Developed alongside collaborators in Dublin, Berlin and Australia, including Tobias Neumann and Johannes Manuel, the album presents a broad and deeply personal electronic work shaped through lived experience.

‘Let’s Play Bongos’ is the latest track taken from ‘Ise’, with the full album set to be released via Ardchumhacht on 26th June 2026.
