Talos samples Loah on new song ‘Solarr’

Eoin French aka Talos has released a new song today to mark the start of a tour that takes in Ireland, UK and Europe from this week.

‘Solarr’ is a song that steps in a more electronic sound with the artist saying:

“This song was an outpouring. It was a song that felt necessary to make and simply the next step forward. I wrote it in LA last summer while renting a house and studio that sat just off Franklin Avenue. In one way, Solarr holds my experience of the city over the time that I was there. It’s hostile and relentless but still fruitful and nourishing while encapsulating transience and a blistering love.”

The song features a sample of the voice of the artist Loah.

Talos has been nominated for Artist of the Year at the Choice Music Awards which happens tonight.

Talos – ‘Solaar’ lyrics


When I was assembled
On your wooden sea
In a lane of lions
On a bed of weeks

Were you taken by the tyrants
Or a memory
I just let it run higher
(vacant speak)

Did they claim you in the close of
A silent feast
Felt the cry of your moves child
While they painted me

Our love is a wild light
Scattering pieces
Our love is a wild light
Blessed bones of ice

Our love is a wild light
Why don’t you speak it
Our love is a wild light
Blessed bones of ice

Burstin at a force with the comets
The dying sun sees what we want it
Find the little beast in the forest
And lay him down slow

Our church is a moon over islands
Made my bed out there, weak in the violence
I let the storm reside, sheltered the sirens
Then I waded out slow

Our love is a wild light
Scattering pieces
Our love is a wild light
Blessed bones of ice

Our love is a wild light
Why don’t you speak it
Our love is a wild light
Blessed bones of ice
