The Gloaming’s second album, simply titled The Gloaming 2 will be released on February 26th on Real World Records.
The contemporary trad supergroup, fiddlers Martin Hayes and Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh, sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, pianist Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), and Chicago-born guitarist Dennis Cahill, reconvened in December to record the album and ‘Fáinleog (Wanderer)’, the album’s first sound exemplifies the band’s beatific rich music that crosses the border between Irish trad, contemporary classical and modern spatial textures.
‘Fáinleog (Wanderer)’:
It’s the followup to their Meteor Choice Music Prize winning debut.
Bartlett, with help from Glen Hansard covered David Bowie’s ‘Lazarus’ in tribute to the great man this week:
