He's BACK! Eugene McGuinness is an inventive songwriter and performer, known for his wry, nimble lyricism and blending retro influences with contemporary sounds to create his unique brand of off-kilter pop. His discography reflects his evolution as an artist - unafraid to experiment and never playing to the gallery, following a tradition of songwriters - Bob Dylan, Shane MacGowan, Randy Newman, Rufus Wainwright - with voices and interior universes that are all their own.

Of Irish heritage, the idiosyncratic McGuinness began crafting songs in his teens and gained recognition with debut EP ‘The Early Learnings of Eugene McGuinness’ - released in 2007. His self-titled debut album was released in 2008 on Domino Records followed by ‘Glue’ (2009, as ‘Eugene and The Lizards’), ‘The Invitation to the Voyage’ in 2012 and ‘Chroma’ (2014). ‘Suburban Gothic’ (2018) was released independently and marked his departure from Domino Records.

In April 2026, Eugene makes his long awaited comeback with his brand-new album 'Eugene McGuinness Vs The Universe' being released on Dockland Speed Shop Records and Mellowtone Records, featuring the huge singles 'Seascape', 'London' with 'Icarus and 'East End Requirem'. Eugene will also be heading out on tour kickstarting with a headline show at Rough Trade, Liverpool, March 21st.
