Deezer awarded 5 albums their best of 2014 designation. The Gloaming got one of them > blog.deezer/gb/2014-albums-of-the-year/ We liked their write-up so much here it is, in full: A supergroup made up for the most part of feted traditional Irish musicians, The Gloaming‘s debut album is a thing of beauty. Connecting virtuoso Irish folk talents to the minimalist output of one of New York’s finest contemporary pianists, together they convincingly blur genre lines and push the elements of what we know as ‘trad’ into thrilling new directions. At times it sticks vehemently to its roots, other times it floats on the same musical plains as Sigur Rós or Keith Jarrett. A rare achievement and a debut to savour, this has been an album we’ve revisited on many occasions this year, and it still thrills, still amazes. Disregard any preconceptions of what genres this may be filed under and embrace a truly unique collection.
