Different Time Zones is the fifth studio album by Irish ambient musician Seamus Ó Muíneacháin.[3][4]
Background and release
O'Muineachain wrote the album while living in the Czech Republic.[5] The album was released on January 7, 2022, through Ghost Home Recordings.[6] Tracks from the album were broadcast by RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta,[7] KEXP,[8] and KXCI.[9] Music videos were produced for the tracks "Over",[10] "Summer Lightning", and "Dogwood".[11]
Critical reception
Writing for Business Post, Tony Clayton-Lea opined, "O'Muineachain has graduated from ingénue to skilled practitioner, fusing found sounds with beautifully drifting instrumental pieces primarily influenced by rural Irish landscapes."[1] Foxy Digitalis opined that; "These pieces feel like they could fall apart at any moment; a sonic house of cards that is improbable and magnetic."[12]
