Breakfast Bastard's self-titled debut album is an audio-visual concept album that combines original music, original / bootlegged video, and visual iconography to explore themes of cultural identity, generational trauma, civic frustration, and nostalgia. The breakfast roll functions as the project's central visual motif: a symbol of indulgence, convenience, and contemporary Irish identity. Musically, the album draws from post-punk, lo-fi pop, techno, and instrumental hip-hop. Some of its tracks include a techno composition featuring Michael D. Higgins thanking artists, an ode to the teenage years framed as a love song to piracy, and a look at the present through fictional romances with inanimate objects, bots, and AI companions.

Can the darkest moments of life also lift our souls? Drawing on his own experience in a Siberian prison in the company of misfits, murderers and theives, Dostoevsky was inspired to write his novel Notes from a Dead House, telling his brother at the time: ‘Believe me, there were among them deep, strong, beautiful natures, and it often gave me great joy to find gold under a rough exterior.’ In Janáček’s hands, Dostoevsky’s inspiration and the raw material drawn from an appalling world of incarceration find an even more powerful form of expression in his last opera, From the House of the Dead. Unfettered by conventional story-telling, Janáček wrote his own libretto, freely weaving together a series of stories of everyday prison life and of the fates of individual convicts.
