I know it’s early, but I’m gonna go ahead and declare The Gloaming’s self-titled debut as one of my top 10 albums of 2014. It’s a hauntingly beautiful—and soulful—collection of tunes that manages to somehow strike the perfect balance between traditional Celtic influences and contemporary songcraft. Listen to “The Necklace of Wrens” to see what I’m talking about. My copy of the CD came from the UK; looks like the album will be released in the United States February 25.
