FIXITY is the avant garde music project of Irish multi instrumentalist and producer Dan Walsh, formed in 2015, which moves in the worlds of psychedelic rock, minimalism, krautrock and free improvisation, featuring an ever-growing pool of collaborators.
In 2024 Fixity released FIXITY8, the most recent installment in a decade spanning series of solo-produced albums. Now Walsh and collaborators present a return to ensemble work for the first time since 2019’s ‘No Man Can Tell’ LP, with a collection of new tunes and sounds expanding Fixity’s sonic territory ranging from expansive punk improv to ecstatic celebrations and minimalist explorations.
This project represents a new stage in the growth of Fixity’s music at a greater scale, reaching across fresh musical worlds with the addition of strings arranged by NY/Cork based arranger Aine Delaney.
Half recorded in Studio Sickan, Malmo in 2022 and half in Cork’s Heavy Meitheal Studios HQ in 2023, the album features an extended cast of long-time collaborators augmented with String ensemble.
ASSURANCE will be released on Vinyl and Digital in Spring 2026 on MOOTAPES label with Artwork by Stephen Morton.
PRESS QUOTES
"...defined by its disregard for parameters. Few Irish artists push the invisible parameters of sonic exploration quite like Walsh”
- Brian Coney, The Thin Air
"The Things In The Room is a deep experience"
“Fixity’s world is one where grooves, rock & roll, noise, motorik, and free jazz all coexist.”
- Tristan Bath, The Quietus
"[No Man Can Tell] is a brilliantly loose, shapeshifting record that is quite difficult to compare to anything else, a testament to Walsh and his bandmates’ singular vision"
- Ryan O'Neill, The Thin Air
-”The sound of a polymath at play.”
-Mike McGrath Bryan, The Evening Echo

“An absolute knockout…”, “…a record that hits a sweet spot between abrasiveness and beauty, as liable to take you on a thrill ride as it is to bring a tear to your eye.”
