Award-winning Irish ambient artist Eileen Tackney releases poignant and otherworldly third album ‘The Return Home’ written and recorded during lockdown.
Eileen Tackney's "The Return Home" is a call to calm. Its electronic ambience combines with a classical aura and folk instrumentation that gives this album a place in another dimension, where music as a healer, using the quality of music to reflect, reverberate and bring us home to our core. This is music that talks to the soul, comprising mainly 3 and 4 minute tunes that occasionally challenge but always remain powerful in a world where love and peace always win, and working to the principle that 'less is more'.

"Nine engaging tracks... it confidently stands apart" Anglo-Celt
The Return Home is an immersive 9 track album that invites us into a sonic field beyond the chaos. Influenced by them unprecedented times we currently find ourselves in, Eileen Tackney’s deeply reflective world is built from visceral atmospheres, cinematic soundscapes, all calling us home to ourselves as her music traverses with palpable emotion through the influences of both her classical and traditional roots.
Tackney, who hails from Cavan in Ireland, was noted as ‘One to Watch’ in The Ticket of the Irish Times with her debut electronica album ‘South’ in 2013 and subsequently released her second album ‘Towards the Sun’ featuring vocalist Jo Beth Young (Talitha Rise) and Martyn Barker (Shriekback) on drums and percussion in 2015.
Her new album was written, recorded and produced by Eileen in both her home and her brother’s studio in Cavan with guest appearances from violinist Andrew Molloy, percussionist , bodhrán player Kieran Leonard, violist Sue King and Cellist Caralyn Hornes
