## Description

Much anticipated second album from the Irish/American band. The Gloaming have performed repeatedly at the most prestigious venues. To co-incide with the album release, five shows at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, and one at London’s Union Chapel, sold out within days, some within hours. With over 7000 set to see The Gloaming perform at this time, the band’s sophomore album is widely tipped to have a chart-topping debut in Ireland. Their debut was widely acclaimed as one of the finest recordings of 2014, featuring on many year-end best lists including Mojo, NPR Music, and the Irish Times; was picked by The Guardian as The One Album You Should Hear This Week; won a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award; and the Meteor Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year.

Review: Atmospheric slow blend of folk influences with classical piano makes 12 melancholy mood pieces - If you have heard their stunning debut album ,then this 2nd offering follows on in much the same vein. The 5 piece band have produced a second album combining generally slow tunes, mostly their adaptation of traditional Irish songs with which I am not familiar, or old poems as lyrics as a starting point. The pace is often fairly funereal , the vocals by Iarla O Lionaird are carefully measured and sung in gaelic, so I have not got a clue what he is singing about, but it sounds moody and magnificent, with a very stylised delivery. Add to the mix stately classical influenced piano from Thomas Bartlett, guitar from Dennis Cahill, fiddle from Martin Hayes and Hardanger d'Amore from Caoimhin O Raghhallaigh and you have a rich melodramatic evocative mixture, unlike anything else around, this certainly stands out from the crowd as being distinctively different. It creates a somewhat sombre, relaxing but intense serious mood piece that hangs together beautifully. The playing and singing is of a high standard from master musicians, it is excellently produced, and released on the Real World label. It is something very special to immerse yourself in, and deserves your undivided attention, it is far too good to be background music . The dozen tracks glide by creating a sense of spiritual calm, a very special atmospheric ensemble piece that is truly memorable.
Review: Even better than the superb first album - I'm not really a folk music person, but they were mentioned by Verity Sharp on radio 3, and I bought the first album on the strength of her recommendation. Thank you, Verity. The second album is so beautiful, so moving, so joyful. it's just stunning musicianship and goes beyond classification.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 star music, pressed onto vinyl in a cowshed(?).
*by F***2 on 29 January 2021*

As per the title, the musicians who produced this work are (in my opinion) beyond reproach - they've made Irish/Celtic folk of epic/cinematic proportions and in a way that is accessible to all (even those without a fluid ounce of Celtic blood), so there's nothing to criticise there. The problem that I have comes from the vinyl experience. I knew, before buying this record, that it was going to need to be played loudly (i.e. with the amplifier at high volume) and that this would only increase the 'floor noise' from the vinyl. However, both vinyls arrived sealed, but full of grit, which I could actually feel when I placed my finger lightly on the spinning turntable. Worse still, the records wouldn't even go on (said) turntable until I had filed out the spindle holes on both, as they were both too tight to fit over it! For all I know, these vinyl platters have been hand-crafted in a cowshed, in keeping with the generally rustic vibe of the whole 'Gloaming' experience, but I really think that quality control needs to be much better for a recording like this, where sound quality is everything. Honestly, I would have sent this scratchy pair of records back, where it not for the fact that I had already downloaded the MP3 files (for which I would have to pay a pretty penny) and also because I own a record-washing machine (where this gritty little sucker is going, first thing tomorrow)! Don't let my review put you off the CD/Download though, as music like this is a rare and beautiful thing.
