Album Notes & Community Reviews

On their third release, 'DĂșlamĂĄn', Clannad began to gently push the boundaries of traditional Celtic folk by integrating richer, subtly progressive vocal harmonies. The band focused on interpreting ancient Gaelic lore, utilizing acoustic instruments to craft lush, mystical soundscapes. It marked a transitional phase that hinted at the ethereal sound they would pioneer in the following decade.
