INYAL

Glasgow Based Folktronica

With their innovative fusion of mercurial tunes, ethereal songs and intricate electronics, INYAL have crafted a sound that owes as much to their Gaelic roots as it does to contemporary Scottish music.

Their striking fusion of electronics and traditional music has led to the band’s live show being showcased on BBC Alba and RTÉ, as well as on the mainstages of festivals around the country, including Celtic Connections and Lorient.

Nominated for the Belhaven Bursary for Innovation at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, INYAL have garnered a reputation for genre-defying compositions which belong to both Glasgow’s underground scene and its folk tradition.

In 2026, the band return to the stage to showcase their highly anticipated new album, Fathoms. Across its nine tracks, the album synthesises reverberating drums, deft arrangements and captivating Gaelic vocals, forming a singular and dramatic work. The album will be launched with a headline performance at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival, where they will perform Fathoms in its entirety, backed by an extended line-up featuring some of Scotland’s most in-demand musicians.

The first single taken from their new album, Fadachd, will be released on the 14th of November.
