Ciaran Lavery and Ryan Vail - Sea Legs ( 10" Sea Green Marble Vinyl Album )

Ciaran Lavery & Ryan Vail, two artists from very different worlds, Ciaran is a young alt-folk singer from Aghagallon who has racked up an impressive 40 million plays on Spotify while Ryan Vail is a minimal electronic artist who creates widescreen soundscapes with piano, synthesisers and found sounds. After talking a little online and finally meeting at a festival they were both performing at, they decided to collaborate. After only initially planning to write maybe two or three tracks together, the project quickly snowballed into more and more tracks. Inspired by the coastal surroundings in Donegal where they recorded the album, an over-arching theme began to emerge.

There are seven tracks on Sea Legs, four which are songs featuring Ciaran’s wistful vocals, the other three are ambient pieces which feature spoken word, a Boston and Donegal fisherman, sea gulls, the howling wind and sound of the sea.
