Eamon Brady has long been a quiet force in Irish music — lending his ear, instinct and craft to
others. As a producer, mentor, lifelong musician, and multi-instrumentalist, he has
contributed to acclaimed records by Junior Brother, The Whileaways, David Kitt,The Spook of
the Thirteenth Lock and many more. Through this work as well as his teaching in Ballyfermot
College, he’s helped countless artists find their sound.
Now, the focus turns inward. Half Light, his debut album, captures the ache of obsession — the
pull between restraint and release, creation and collapse. It’s the sound of an artist finally
surfacing after years submerged in other people’s songs. A decades-long exhale shaped in
the hours when the world is still — late nights, early mornings — when thought and feeling blur.
The record unfolds in layers: acoustic guitars in alternate tunings and uneven time signatures
drift against modular synths, wind, strings and pedal steel. Live and sampled drums pulse
beneath, grounded yet restless. Textures rise and dissolve; melody and noise wrestle,
embrace, fall apart
