Cork’s sean-nós noise-makers, I Dreamed I Dream, are back with their latest single, Fags, out March 21, 2025. This track marks the first release from their highly anticipated second EP, BOYOPOISONING, set for release on April 18, 2025.
Fags is a raw, chaotic love story for the dreamers and the disillusioned. It captures the messy realities of love, loss, and the vulnerability of starting over. Blending post-punk’s raw energy with dream-pop’s ethereal soundscapes, the track embraces love in all its unfiltered glory – without rules, without apologies. It’s a tribute to the push and pull of affection, the ache of loss, and the beauty of rediscovery.

This new release follows the success of their debut EP, Why Say A Lot? (2023), which earned praise for its unique mix of noise-rock, shoegaze, and sardonic wit. With BOYOPOISONING, the band is expanding their sound, incorporating everything from trad and sean-nós to experimental noise, showcasing their most confident and adventurous work to date.
To celebrate the release of the new EP, I Dreamed I Dream will headline BelloBar in Dublin on May 3, playing tracks from BOYOPOISONING live for one of the first times.
Praised by Paste Magazine as “possibly the best live act in Ireland right now,” the band continues to solidify its reputation as one of the most exciting acts in the Irish music scene. With the release of Fags, the countdown to BOYOPOISONING has begun.
