Ahead of his forthcoming debut album Wild Alee, on April 21st, Eoin French aka Talos has previewed another song from it called ‘Contra’.
The song is “about the idea of protecting something very fragile in the midst of a crisis, when the walls are falling down around you.”
French has developed as a musician who has a penchant for creating intimate sentiments in swirls of sonics.
A remix from Star Slinger of the song is forthcoming. Previous single ‘Odyssey’ was equally epic.
