“Primed for a breakthrough” Dork

Irish alt-rockers Burglar sign to TULLE (M(h)aol) and share brand new single ‘Lovey’ (video here), out today (January 20th).

Based in Dublin and composed of band members Willow Hannon and Eduardo Pinheiro, the duo formed after meeting in college and bonding over their love of acts including Stereolab and Smashing Pumpkins. Their backgrounds couldn’t be more different; Eduardo grew up around the punk rock scene in his hometown of Goiânia, Brazil, while Willow comes from the indie-pop scene in Dublin; however their blend of inspirations has given Burglar a unique and addictive sound.

Willow’s dissociative lyricism and Eduardo’s confessional style result in energetic and catchy songs with interchangeable vocal leads and omnipresent harmonic work, alongside distorted guitars and buzzing synths. 

Having become mainstays on the Dublin live scene, the group have already supported the likes of Greg Freeman, The Belair Lip Bombs, US Girls, Ugly and Adore across the UK and Ireland, with early shows also ticked off at staple London venues The Windmill, The George Tavern, The Social and Moth Club.

Spotlighted in Dork’s HYPE List 2026 and featured in the Irish Times’ ‘50 People to Watch for 2026’, Burglar are primed for a series of Irish tour dates to coincide with their single release, kicking off what promises to be a mammoth year.

Detailing ‘Lovey’, Pinheiro revealed: “It’s a breakup track I wrote a week after it happened. I don’t think I was in the right headspace to see potential in anything I was doing around then, so I just didn’t give it any attention. Not visiting it for a year made me change the narrative a little, cause I didn’t really feel the same anymore. So I tried to make it more fun by saying embarrassing things and commenting on the things I just said. As if I’m writing about writing a song. But the main thing I tried to remind myself with this was that heartbreak wasn't (totally) physical. Aside from crying, everything else was just in my head.”

Burglar’s ‘Lovey’ is out now via TULLE and available on all digital platforms.
