. In an interview with The Quietus, Fogarty claimed the title of the album was inspired by the loss of his favorite t-shirt on the summit of a mountain in the Iveragh Peninsula. In 2017, Fogarty released his second album, ''The Curious Hand'', on Domino. Three years later, on 6 November 2020, his third studio album, ''A Bag Of Eyes,'' came out, recorded across London, Kent and East Sussex. The album features Fogarty’s partner Emma Smith, Meilyr Jones, long-time collaborators Leo Abrahams, Aram Zarikian and John Fogarty. The album was self-produced, and the sound has more electronica influences, synths, and drum machines. Fogarty said that he had been "experimenting with new ways of incorporating electronics into the songwriting process". In September, he released a single and video named “Johnny K”, which sets a spotlight to the uneasy state of an Irishman living in Brexit-London.
