Talos
July 29 @ 8:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Talos makes his Seachurch debut with a special full band show ahead of an appearance at All Together Now. Fresh off the back of his Artist of the Year nomination at the recent Choice Awards, the Cork-based artist will perform songs from his three albums: 2017’s breakthrough debut, Wild Alee; 2019’s Far Out Dust and last year’s Dear Chaos.
The album – featuring artwork based on the painting “The Fall Of Icarus” by Pieter Breugel – was written and recorded over a tumultuous two-year period, largely coming to life in west Cork, where Talos is based. Featuring contributions from long-time production partner Ross Dowling; producers Brian Joseph and and Icelandic composer Atli Örvarsson – and a first ever cover, in the shape of Brian Eno and John Cale’s ‘Spinning Away’ – Talos describes it as a record that “sounds like a place.” He adds: “I make music visually. It’s image-based in my mind. These stories are cast out across the cliffs, the landscape, the roads. It’s all in there.”
