Our Take

In a world where the boundaries between the inside and outside are constantly blurred, CIAN CIARAN's latest album "Outside In" offers a whimsical journey through the sonic landscape. Known for his work with Super Furry Animals, Ciaran brings his eclectic sensibilities to this solo project with delightful results.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you can't help but be drawn in by Ciaran's unique blend of electronic beats and dreamy melodies. With nods to 80s synth-pop and experimental psychedelia, "Outside In" takes listeners on a joyride that is equal parts nostalgia and innovation.

Tracks like "Sunshine in a Rainy Day" and "Galactic Ambassador" showcase Ciaran's knack for crafting infectious tunes that stick in your head long after the music has stopped. The production on this album is top-notch, with layers of shimmering synths and intricate percussion creating a lush sonic tapestry that is impossible to resist.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Outside In." Ciaran also dives into darker territory with tracks like "Shadow Play" and "Ghost in the Machine," exploring themes of isolation and introspection. These moments of introspection add depth to the album, creating a rich tapestry of emotions that keeps you coming back for more.

Overall, "Outside In" is a fantastic solo effort from CIAN CIARAN that showcases his versatility and creativity as a musician. Whether you're a long-time fan of his work or new to his music, this album is sure to be a standout in your collection. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a musical escape from the everyday grind.
