Eoin French grew up on the north side of Cork. He was a member of the band Hush War Cry. He trained as an architect and also studied at Cork School of Music.
He began the Talos project in 2013, releasing the tracks "Tethered Bones" and "Bloom" in late 2014. The sparse, dub-like electronica of the tracks earned the producer a positive response, and he began to earn comparison to artists such as James Blake, Bon Iver, and James Vincent McMorrow.
His 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, was released in 2022.
Eoin French passed away on 11th August 2024 after an illness at the young age of 37. An EP ‘Sun Divider’, created in Iceland alongside composer Atli Örvarsson, was posthumously-released in December 2024.
