For Those I Love

Biography

For Those I Love is the solo project of Dublin producer David Balfe, built from spoken word, sampling and euphoric electronics. The debut album 'For Those I Love' (2021), an elegy for a lost friend released on #September Recordings#, topped the Irish chart; 'Carving the Stones' followed in 2025. The project grew out of Dublin's spoken-word and rave scenes, and Balfe's narration, part eulogy and part love letter to his city, gives the records their distinctive emotional charge. He first came to attention in the Dublin band *Burnt Out*.
