Lost Tribe Sound presents the debut album from Gallowglas, titled, ‘I Dream I See You Hit The Water, I Dream I See You Change Your Mind’ (or for short, IDISYHTW, IDISYCYM). From the start, Gallowglas has been a captivating study in duality… a push and pull of opposing forces, techniques, voices, and philosophies battling it out to create something quite profound, an album that felt close to never coming together at all.

Ultimately strong wills prevailed, working through disagreements, lost sessions, and stretches of post-world stopping malaise with an undeniable knowing that the results of this struggle were becoming a body of work that felt worth fighting for. Hardly a shiny sales pitch, but if you’re looking for another glossed up one sheet about an alt rock band who just found that perfect sound and rode it... Gallowglas is not that band.

That said, ‘IDISYHTW, IDISYCYM’ is an album with some fire in it. It’s a smoldering, crawling sort of indie that will most likely be treated like an outcast in the genre… a grandiose, experimental and bruised sort of classical that won’t be sweet enough or keep its mouth shut long enough for the neoclassical types. It’s a crude, ballad-heavy breed of outsider music that just speaks to us.

Galloglas feels wounded, at times almost beyond repair, but in a relatable way. A pain or sadness that you live with, internalize, live through, learn from. There is quiet strength to ‘IDISYHTW, IDISYCYM’ that it maintains throughout. Some moments bring tears when least expected, and some flood the heart with an anxious sort of excitement. It moves like a sharp blade through fog, cutting from seemingly out of nowhere with a deceivingly effortless amount of force. Gallowglas pairs stark, affecting vocals, derelict piano melodies, and a succinct array of ghostly background mechanics.

I dream I see you hit the water, I dream I see you change your mind

Lost Tribe Sound is a record label that specializes in organic and exploratory sound. Lost Tribe Sound admires music that leaves its tattered edges proudly in place, acoustic instrumentation blended seamlessly with dirty mechanics, timeworn sound worlds rooted in the muck and the mire of the present. The sound generally falls along the lines of bizarrely rhythmic, beautifully decayed electro-acoustic music, often with a reverence for low-end. LTS focuses on full-length albums, with a strong commitment to well-made packaging. The aim is to unearth timeless music that pushes the envelope of modern composition while paying homage to the ancient.
