Spectral grunge-pop artist Sister Ghost has announced details of her upcoming four-track EP Oracle, alongside the release of its second single ‘Embers’ and a run of UK tour dates this April.
Over the past few years, Sister Ghost has established herself as one of Ireland’s most vital and fearless rock voices, sharing stages with the likes of Snow Patrol, Fontaines D.C., and Pussy Riot. Following the success of her acclaimed debut album Beyond The Water, she now returns with Oracle, a powerful new collection that continues to expand her distinctive sonic world.
The EP was recorded in Los Angeles with legendary producer Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Veruca Salt) and drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, DEVO). It opens with ‘Incantation’, an atmospheric instrumental built around field recordings captured in O’Neill’s rural Irish home and in California, where she spends her summers teaching female and gender-expansive musicians.
That spectral introduction leads into the high-energy ‘Crashland’, a raucous, sun-soaked tribute to friendship and life on the road. The EP then moves into the slow-burning introspection of new single ‘Embers’, which explores the idea of “right person, wrong timing” — a moment where personal growth ultimately outweighs the comfort of the past.
The collection closes with the punchy and infectious ‘Not Your Toy’, the EP’s first single, which previously earned praise from outlets including KEXP Seattle and BBC Introducing.
Across its four tracks, Oracle explores themes of truth, renewal and the courage to move forward. It’s a visceral reflection on clarity and starting again — a sonic reminder that the view is always better when you leave “the wasteland” behind.
Sister Ghost will support the release with a short run of UK shows in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh this April, with tickets on sale NOW.
