I would never have run across this album were it not for Jeffrey Overstreet tweeting about it yesterday. (Thanks, Jeff!)

Laghdú is a new album of Irish fiddle music played by Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and Dan Trueman. These guys are playing unique, custom 10-string fiddles and creating a fascinating, minimalist style.

The music is wonderful and difficult to describe all at the same time; think Arvo Pärt meets traditional Irish fiddle playing, or, as @ChadComello responded to Overstreet, it’s as if Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead guitarist and composer of film scores to There Will Be Blood and The Master) had scored Braveheart.

Here’s a sample:
