Ciarán steps out from behind the Bearface name with a debut built from distorted vocals, dreamy chords and hard-edged guitars.
For more than a decade, the Irish multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer was one of BROCKHAMPTON’s most distinctive voices, shaping some of the group’s most vulnerable and emotionally resonant moments. Róisín is his first full-length release since the group disbanded in 2022, and the first album issued under his own name.
The title—Irish for “little rose”—was once intended to be Ciarán’s middle name. Here it becomes an anchor for a record about reclaiming identity and reconnecting with his Irish roots. Written during a period of renewed creative freedom in New York, its thirteen tracks grew from a disciplined stream of daily ideas: production fragments, melodies and experiments that gradually found their place.
There is no neat genre label for Róisín. Guitars and distorted voices collide with soft-focus harmony, rough textures and intimate songwriting, opening a new chapter without losing the vulnerability and experimentation that first drew listeners to his work.
For fans of: BROCKHAMPTON, Dijon, Mk.gee.

Why shop with 12 Bar?
We're an independent record shop built around music discovery. Every purchase supports a small team passionate about sharing great music, championing independent artists and creating a thriving music community.
Every title on 12-bar.com has been chosen by real music lovers—not algorithms. We focus on records we genuinely believe deserve to be heard, helping you discover artists, labels and sounds you might not find elsewhere.
How long will my order take?
Many of the records we sell are sourced to order from our trusted network of UK distributors, allowing us to offer thousands more titles than we could ever stock in-store. Please allow up to 7 working days for dispatch.
If you've pre-ordered a record, we'll always aim to dispatch it in time for release day so it arrives on, or as close to, the official release date as possible.
Why does dispatch take a little longer?
We're an independent record shop, not a warehouse. Rather than filling shelves with thousands of records that may never sell, we carefully source many titles once you place your order.
It means a wider catalogue, less waste and more opportunities to discover great music.
How are records packaged?
Every record is packed using purpose-made vinyl mailers with protective packaging to help ensure it arrives safely.
Whenever we can, we'll also include a few 12 Bar stickers, our latest zine and other little extras to make opening your order feel just as special as playing the record.
