Eoin John Byrne - Empath EP Review
Eoin John Byrne is a self taught musician from Dublin. From an early age, he showed huge interest in music and found expression through instruments to be his way of communicating. His father was a musician and influenced him to pick up the guitar aged 8. He listened to folk, metal, instrumental and rock and found them to be a source of inspiration. In his spare time he teaches himself to play new instruments, most recently piano, synth and bass guitar. He recently released his new EP Empath at the beginning of June.
Listen to Harbour here:
The EP begins with Harbour which is a truly beautiful composition. The mellow tones create a what can only be described as a warm musical blanket which covers you and protects you from anything other than positive vibes. Velian is more floaty and dreamlike but once again makes you feel at ease with it's Nightmares On Wax style ambient aura. Where You Go, I Go continues on in the same vein but is perhaps even more atmospheric thanks to the vocal melodies mixed in. The EP closes with Gorekai which is steeped in subdued drum and bass and piano sounds. The music is gentle and progresses really nicely. Eoin John calls himself a sound painter and this EP is his canvas. His songs flow like the stroke of a brush and at the end he can take a step back and be truly proud of his finished piece.
