Donnacha Costello brings in the lush backgrounds of his prior work to the foreground with Together Is The New Alone. The influences of Brian Eno, Harold Bud and Daniel Lanois integrate with precise designed tones that bring forward a gentle rhythmic property that move clearly in mesmerizing formation. The tracks could translate as retrospective of his experiences, persuasions that open the listener to further interpretations, yet never sounding 'kitsch' or nostalgic.
Donnacha Costello's aim is to combine his respect for classical ambience with new digital production methods and sounds to create a clear, pristine, conceptual album. The result? Always pure, clean and digital.
