Daithi – Embrace E​.​P [NEW MUSIC]

Sleep Like A Stone Cover Art

The Embrace E.P was recorded in the Forge Studio Galway, produced and engineered by David Phelan of The Lost Chord. True to Daithí’s live style, the E.P was recorded using a looped method; each sound is a separate loop, mixed together to create a precise and melodic piece of music. The end result is energetic, catchy instrumentals, with electronic, indie and traditional irish influences rolled into each tune.

The E.P was mastered by Nilesh Patel at the Exchange in london, whose previous mastering works include artists such as Friendly Fires, The XX, Digitalism, Justice, Crystal Castles, and Daft Punk’s Homework and Da Funk to mention but a few.
