Lonesome Sway

Lonesome Sway is Rob Moloney's adaptation of his score for Luke Murphy's live contemporary dance show, Volcano. Produced by Attic Projects, the "psychological sci-fi thriller" was nominated for Best Soundscape, and won Best Production, at the 2021 Irish Theatre Awards. This emotive, dynamic and beautifully recorded album combines lush string trio arrangements with elements of post-rock, noise and poetry to explore themes of isolation, fleeting moments of intimacy, and failing to make sense of the world. Throughout the album, Moloney endeavours to perforate the melancholic haze with delicate moments of beauty alongside eruptions of a long-restrained explosive energy.
