Daithí
Released earlier this month, Daithí’s new album ‘I’m Here Now’ is both the culmination of a journey that began many years previously, and the beginning of a bold, visually focused new chapter.
“I feel like I’m more connected to where I’m from than I’ve ever been,” says Daithí.
“There’s all of these facets that have inspired my music – my bread and butter has been about taking culture and history and mixing in the personal – if I’m tracking a lot of different parts of my life, if I’m trying to search for the different parts of myself right now, I needed to revisit these places and these people – you’re the sum of your parts right now.”
That sentiment is reflected in the music, a deft collision of Daithí’s propensity for storytelling, capacity to reimagine the environment around him, and the ability to open up his world to those who seek escape.
“Once you stop yourself from trying to control every little detail, once you realise that the music can answer your questions and create exciting new ones – there’s a beauty in that.”
