Oisin Leech, revered musician and one-half of The Lost Brothers, released his debut solo album Cold Sea, on March 8th 2024 via Outside Music and Tremone Records. Produced by acclaimed songwriter and musician Steve Gunn, the record features contributions from a number of celebrated artists such as Tony Garnier (Bob Dylan), Dónal Lunny and M Ward.
Throughout his career, Leech has become known for his focused artistry and distinctive vocals, both of which shine through in his dexterous solo material. Time spent in Donegal, a place of great significance to the Meath-based artist, provided inspiration for Cold Sea.
Collaboration has always been integral to Leech’s creative practice. On Cold Sea, he joined forces with Brooklyn-based musician Steve Gunn. The pair initially met whilst Leech was recording in New York; they stayed in touch and when Leech had garnered a considerable amount of material, he invited Gunn to make a record in Donegal.
The working relationship between Leech and Gunn was organic, as Leech explains. “I really enjoyed how Steve approached the production. He was aware that often the more sparse we kept the arrangements, the more it let the songs breathe. He kept the session flowing and unfussed, often we used the first or second take for the final mix.”
