Pearse McGloughlin released his debut album Busy Whisper in 2009. The album met with a warm reception while a video for Ways to Kill a Werewolf won an IMTV award for Best Male Video. In 2010 a four track EP entitled Twine was released after which Pearse dropped everything and set about finishing In Movement. The album is out now on Urchin Music
