Crá Croí share new single ‘Lord Of The Wild’
Cork post-punk duo Crá Croí release “Lord Of The Wild” on August 7, a Cernunnos-themed single ahead of their debut album “Tá Brón Orm,” out October 30.
Cork, Ireland duo Crá Croí will release a new single, “Lord Of The Wild,” on August 7, 2026, via Soundcloud ahead of a wider streaming rollout. The track is the sixth standalone single from the band and follows five previous releases, arriving ahead of their debut album, “Tá Brón Orm” (Irish for “sadness is on me”), due October 30, 2026 with twelve new songs.
Crá Croí’s sound fuses post-punk atmosphere with synth-driven beats and cinematic production. The duo, known as RG and CD, self-produce and self-release their music, extending the same DIY approach to their visuals.
Cernunnos mythology drives the new single
The song draws on the mythology of Cernunnos, “the hunter” or “the horned one,” a figure tied to the elemental forces said to guard sacred groves and ancient places. The band describes the “wandering king” being called home as a symbol of humanity reconnecting with something primal. An accompanying DIY video was also made for the release.
