Eoin French (born 1987), known professionally as Talos, is an Irish indie electronic musician from Cork.[1][2]
Early life[]
Eoin French grew up on the north side of Cork. He trained as an architect and lectured in architecture at University College Cork.[3] He was a member of the band Hush War Cry, and also studied at Cork School of Music.[4] His stage name is a reference to the mythical Talos, a giant automaton made of bronze that protected Crete.[5]
Career[]
Talos began his career in 2013. His first album, Wild Alee, was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, and The Irish Times awarded it four stars, calling it "a spectacularly assured debut deserving of a wide audience".[6] His second album, Far Out Dust, was released in 2019.[7]
