My ear have exploded with this goodness in the morning and I couldn't wait to share this. First of all, can we please talk about how much Talos sounds like Bon Iver and Matt Corby (and let's face it, that is the best combo). With the cinematic yet very elegant production this track turns into a beautiful ear candy. The track is emotional, delicate and just plain gorgeous. I absolutely love the build up, which skillfully plays around the vocals.
Talos must be one of Ireland's best kept secrets: his album is out in just a couple of days, so make sure to grab yourself a copy, I'm sure it will be stunning.
Here is what he said about the track in his press release:
“In any endeavour we find ourselves at that point of doubt. Those moments where you question yourself. That’s what the line, ‘In this odyssey, it’s hard to leave…’ refers to. It’s a beautiful and testing cycle. “I was asking myself some pretty big questions. Am I doing the right thing? Is this worth it? Am I deluding myself?! And I think in the end, the answer is yes to all three. These feelings come and go. The thoughts pass. Sometimes the delusions get realised. And we move on.”
