Earthworks is Thom Brookes’ debut album as Drombeg that we introduced last year with EP Notes From The Ocean Floor. It will be out January 29 on Futuresequence. Listen to the first excerpt “Tumulus“.
A soundtrack for the middle-of-nowhere, the wild landscapes of Brookes’ native Southern Ireland are littered with historic (Tumulus), and geological (Béarra) structures hardened under the relentless elements. Sinuous string melodies, and tender piano phrases reach like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds, blended with electronics and field recordings in careful balance to produce a rich cinematic sound.
