A.S. Fanning is an Irish songwriter whose music fuses the introspection of indie folk with the expansive weight of alternative rock and psychedelic music.
Marked by layered textures, melancholic atmospheres, and his resonant baritone, his songs confront themes of dread, mortality, and uncertainty. Drawing comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Scott Walker, Fanning transforms unease into hauntingly beautiful soundscapes, blending acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic flourishes to create a voice that is both timeless and distinctly his own.
His upcoming album Take Me Back to Nowhere was shaped by disorientation, fracture, and a fascination with the unstable nature of reality. Written while housebound with a broken wrist, the album reflects both physical limitation and creative paralysis, where endless words became overwhelming chaos. Inspired by sci-fi authors like Ursula K. Le Guin and J.G. Ballard, the songs explore how imagination bends reality, how anxiety reshapes the world into surreal, isolating landscapes.
