Daithí rarely fails to deliver.
Long inspired by the sights, sounds, and surroundings of Ireland, Daithí produces a balanced collision of the intimate and the vibrant in his latest work.
The two-time Choice Music Prize nominee builds on a signature unique formation of house music with the first in a series of double A-sides that mark his most ambitious and personal adventure to date.
This track is a double A-side release along with another track called ‘Take The Wheel’, which features Paul Noonan from Bell X1. This one features the hauntingly beautiful vocals of The Sei (Stace Gill).
This latest project was unearthed in isolation in rural France as communication with friends, family, and an all-consuming social media expanse was placed on pause.
The ending of a relationship brought requisite heartache and pain. With it came the chance for restoration and reconstruction, empathy sought and focus found. Months would pass, and grief would slowly turn to catharsis. In retreat, Daithí gathered shards and faced them down. His reflection is visible in each note and lyric these new tracks.

“I became interested in the idea of how people deal with loss and the different ways that they recover from it,” Daithí notes.
“I was at my lowest point, feeling like nothing would ever be okay again, and found myself writing all sorts of melodies and chords as a form of therapy, but couldn’t imagine getting to a place where I felt comfortable making songs out of them.”
