In recent years, we've shared stages with the likes of Daniel Johnston, Smog/Bill Callahan, Bob Mould, Okkervil River, Caribou, Iron And Wine, Villagers, Teenage Fanclub, Kurt Vile, and Modest Mouse, and more, and we have performed at festivals such as Electric Picnic and Forbidden Fruit (Ireland), CMJ (New York), and CMW (Toronto).

In October 2012, we released our third album "I Am Not The Crow". The album, recorded between Montreal (Thee Mighty Hotel2Tango, Engineered by Efrim Manuel Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor & Thee Silver Mt. Zion) and Donegal (Attica Audio, Engineered by Thomas McLaughlin of Villagers, Cathy Davey, Berkeley) has achieved critical acclaim in Ireland and further afield. In January 2013, "I Am Not The Crow" was nominated for the Meteor Choice Music Prize [http://www.choicemusicprize.com].

In February 2014, we teamed up with Popical Islanders "Land Lovers" to release a split 12 record. You can listen to it over here: http://windingslandlovers.bandcamp.com

Our fourth Long Player, 'Be Honest and Fear Not' was released in September 2016. Here's what people have been saying about it:

“an honest and blithely fearless collection, which is ultimately what makes windings both a seriously fun and seriously underrated band”
**** The Ticket

“this is vintage, maverick windings, at the peak of their own marvellously, inventive eccentricity”
**** Sunday Business Post

“another boundary pushing effort, a really impressive return from one of Ireland’s most innovative bands”
8/10 Hot Press

“Be Honest and Fear Not is an album that could only have been made by Windings, and only made at this point in their career.”
8/10 TheLastMixedTape

“a career record for Windings – one vested in immediacy and relatability, without shirking the weight of the existence and experiences of the trials that brought it about. Superb.”
9/10 Headstuff.org

“unabashed heart and candid songwriting”
**** The Thin Air

Limerick
