The follow-up to their Choice Music Prize-winning, 2014 debut album, The Gloaming have announced that they will release their second album, The Gloaming 2, on February 26 via Real World Records.
Effortless marrying traditional Irish music with jazz, contemporary classical and experimental sounds, the band have, for many, re-defined contemporarily Irish traditional music over the last couple of years. Their forthcoming second full-length was recorded in December past, produced by Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and engineered by Patrick Dillett, who has previously worked with David Byrne & St Vincent and the National.
As with their debut album, The Gloaming 2 will feature artwork from Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison. Check out its tracklising, as well as forthcoming Gloaming UK and Irish dates below.
