Wicklow trio Wyvern Lingo will live stream the launch of their new album Awake You Lie from the stage of the Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray on Thursday night.

This first performance of the album starts at 8.00pm sharp and will include a collaboration with Wicklow visual artist 1iing Heaney, who will bring elements of the digital artwork she designed for the album to the live show.

The band, who won acclaim for their 2019 Choice Music Prize-nominated debut album, will also be taking part in a post live-stream Q&A event tomorrow at 9.30pm after their performance, which will be available to view on the Hot Press YouTube channel.

Awake You Lie, which is out this Friday, was recorded in JRS studios in Berlin pre-Covid, with the final tweaks managed in lockdown Ireland by band members Caoimhe Barry, Karen Cowley and Saoirse Duane.

"A recurring image during this album writing process was light, the lack thereof, and wanting to see things more clearly, for ourselves and others," the band say.

"We called the album Awake You Lie because it evokes an image of night-time when someone should be sleeping but can't, due to restlessness or worry. Things are always clearer in the light of day."

Wyvern Lingo live from the Mermaid Arts Centre, Thursday, 25 February 25th, 8.00pm. Tickets priced €12.00. Book here
