“When we feel as though we might drown under the waves of our grief, there is music. On A Dawning, the astounding album from Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds and the late Irish artist Eoin French – known to many as Talos – music becomes a raft to keep us afloat in those dark, seemingly fathomless waters, guiding us towards a glimmer of light on the horizon. For both artists, this record serves as the apotheosis of their creative talents, two brilliant minds revelling in their shared love of music.”
‘A Dawning’, the moving joint work by Icelandic composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Olafur Arnalds and Irish singer-songwriter Talos (Eoin French), who died in 2024.
The sound of these two exceptional artists is both raw and full of light – an invitation to let the music carry you away. In eight impressive pieces, ‘A Dawning’ not only pays tribute to an extraordinary artistic partnership, but also sets a lasting mark on Talos’ legacy. The artwork, designed by Talos himself, provides an intimate look into his world of thoughts and feelings. This album is more than a collection of songs – it is music that leads through dark times and gives hope.
Ólafur Arnalds & Eoin French, known professionally as Talos, come together on ‘A Dawning’, a deeply immersive collaborative album.
Created before the untimely passing of Talos in 2024, the record blends their distinct musical voices into something truly transportive. Adding a deeply personal touch, all artwork for the album and its singles were crafted by Talos himself, offering fans an additional insight into his beautiful creative vision.
This release not only celebrates the musical partnership between Arnalds and Talos but also honours the enduring legacy of Talos, ensuring his artistic spirit continues to inspire and resonate.
