Paddy Mulcahy’s free-ranging and genre-bending hybrid of post-classical and electronica may not use words to express its feelings yet Angel's Share - his first album for Sony offshoot XXIM - is a deep and moving work, inspired by loss and anxiety in a time of crisis, though the Irish composer finds a place of peace and resolution. In the process of converging threads of electronica, classical, ambient, dance, avant-pop, chillwave and drum and bass to create a multi-dimensional work of shifting rhythm, texture, mood and impact, Angel's Share also expands the Irish composer’s instrumental and studio capabilities. Mulcahy’s fusion of emotion and technique is a beautifully honed sound and vision for head and heart, body and soul.
According to Paddy, Angel's Share - dedicated to his late father - represents “my way of coping with the 18 months following our loss, whilst handling a career during a global pandemic, and trying to get back to normality.”
