Nell Mescal brought songs to Brooklyn, then let a newly met band alter their arrangements, lyrics and emotional contours in real time.

A route through Nell Mescal’s catalogue, from early songs about leaving home to the clarity of her 2025 EP and new single.

Across two releases a year apart, Nell Mescal gives painful self-questioning its full emotional weight while drawing a clear line between feeling something and believing it.

A European run with Holly Humberstone follows the Atlantic Records release

She's spent four years writing brilliant songs about leaving - school, Ireland, friendships, the lot. New single 'Settles' is the first one about staying put, and it arrives with a flat hunt and a summer that includes a sold-out show at Lorde's All Points East. Funny how these things work out.

The Irish songwriter previews her next chapter with a long-distance love song.

The new material follows writing sessions in Nashville and extensive touring.

Nell Mescal’s second EP, ‘The Closest We’ll Get’, charts a messy, moving journey through limbo-love and self-preservation.

Her largest headline tour starts in November across the UK and Ireland.
