{"product_id":"the-gloaming_2_2016_disco-virgin-music-group","title":"2","description":"THE IRISH GROUP RETURNS WITH A NEW ALBUM BLENDING TRADITIONAL MUSIC, JAZZ, CLASSICAL, AND EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC. THE GLOAMING is situated at a true musical crossroads, mixing the melancholic tones of Irish traditional music with modern shades of jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental music. Rooted in Irish traditional music since their inception, violinists Martin Hayes and Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh and sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird are joined by New York pianist Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) and Chicago-born guitarist Dennis Cahill. THE GLOAMING have found a way to merge and transform Irish traditions, and to redefine through this process what Irish music can be. Their new album, 2, was recorded in December 2015 at Real World Studios, produced by Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and designed and mixed by Patrick Dillett (David Byrne \u0026amp; St. Vincent, The National). Although Ireland is small, the variety and difference in styles among traditional music musicians from different counties and parishes just a few kilometers apart is an astonishing thing. The origins of the three Irish members of the group illustrate the power and colors of this ecosystem. Hayes hails from County Clare, where a slow, contemplative, and melancholic sound of the violin reigns among its musicians. A move to America sparked new inspirations, ranging from Arvo Pärt to Sigur Ros. Ó Raghallaigh, Hayes' fellow violinist, was born in Dublin and draws his inspiration from a minimalist experimental sound world. Ó Lionáird is from West Cork, where Sean-nós singing - a cappella - is passed down from generation to generation. THE GLOAMING have performed on the most prestigious stages in their home country, with ticket sales selling out within a few days, sometimes in just a few hours.","brand":"The Gloaming","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57726605328728,"sku":null,"price":23480112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/the-gloaming_2_2016_disco-virgin-music-group","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
