David Keenan

With Modern Mythologies, David Keenan doesn’t just return — he detonates. He opens his chest cavity, shakes out the ghosts, burns the old stories and rewrites them in real time. The album, arriving 21 November 2025, is a sprawling, intimate tapestry of memories, myth-making and survival. It’s Keenan at his most exposed and his most expansive: a poet documenting the messy miracle of being alive. Modern Mythologies feels like a challenge issued directly to the listener: write your own story down; confront it; celebrate it; mythologise it on your own terms. Keenan has done just that, pouring guts and imagination into a record that refuses to be numb or detached. It is flawed, inspired, deeply human — and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable. If music is a mirror, this album doesn’t show you a polished reflection. It shows you the cracked glass — the part that lets the light through. -Odyssey Magazine 5 Stars - ‘Album of the week’ - Irish Mail on Sunday 4 Stars - ‘Albums of the Year’ - Sunday Times UK 4 Stars & Album of the Week - UK Mail on Sunday 9/10 “ My Album of the Year” John Walshe Hot Press Magazine
