Personal life
Eoin French grew up on the north side of Cork. He trained as an architect and lectured in architecture at University College Cork. He later studied at Cork School of Music.
French divided his time between Cork, Ireland, and Reykjavík, Iceland.
He died following a short illness in Cork, on 11 August 2024, at the age of 37.
Career
In his early 20s, French was a member of the band Hush War Cry. He started performing as Talos in 2013. This stage name was a reference to the mythical Talos, a giant automaton made of bronze that protected Crete.
Talos' first album, Wild Alee, was nominated for the Choice Music Prize, and The Irish Times awarded it four stars, calling it "a spectacularly assured debut deserving of a wide audience". His second album, Far Out Dust, was released in 2019. His third album, Dear Chaos, came out on 7 October 2022.
