专辑简介
A jig launches with ‘Samildánach’, a bouncing dance of twirling stringed and flute harmonies lilting across percussive streaks of acoustic guitar, initially in buoyant mood it sinks into the slightly sombre but keeps the tempo rapid before abruptly ceasing with a pop (this is a demo after all). Dual harmonies of guitar luxuriantly weave a dolorous melody before ‘Riders of the Sidhe’ strides into full step with the patter of hand drums fluttering to the polyphony. Inches away from being cliché, Scáthanna avoid the temptation to dredge the mainstream-palatable Irish sound, steeping sadness and introspection into their songs. The instrumentation is for the most part refined and proficient. The meter waxes and wanes from the languid to furious duelling, though at times the guitars chordal changes are hampered by open stringed breaks.
