The Gloaming – 2
THE GLOAMING dwells at a musical crossroads, enhancing traditional Irish
music’s rich,
melancholic tones with modern hues of jazz, contemporary classical, and
experimental music.
Steeped in traditional Irish music since birth, fiddlers Martin Hayes and
Caoimhin Ó
Raghallaigh and sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird are joined by New York
pianist Thomas
Bartlett (Doveman), and Chicago-born guitarist Dennis Cahill.
The Gloaming have found a way to fuse and transform Irish traditions, in the
process redefining
what Irish music can be. The new album was recorded in December 2015 at Real
World Studios, produced by Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and
engineered
and mixed by Patrick Dillett (David Byrne & St.Vincent, The National).
