Richy McLoughlin makes music that creates an arena for feeling. It is all about evocation, one that nurtures the listener and draws out thematic properties and energy to mingle into the music. His presence is especially remarkable, the way he is able to craft a mood, teasing out meaning from it, through it, and around it. So that you’re drenched in that ambience, immersed in that state of mind. His latest release is especially made like that.
‘Slipping Away’ is a dreary track with an energy that flows into it. It casts an acoustic atmosphere, with a rhythm that is constantly floating on by. The protagonist’s existential journey through absurd lyrical landscapes and imagery allows it to be like when the sunlight melts into the ocean. A distinct feeling of melancholy emerges from it, a darkness that is so faint yet so hypnotic and compelling. Add to this Richy’s vocal melt which is also slipping away. If you enjoy the work of Simon & Garfunkel, especially the contemplative, dark compositions, then you’re sure to enjoy this piece. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
