Blue Moon Set is the fourth solo album by Irish ambient musician Seamus Ó Muíneacháin.[2] The album was broadcast on several major radio stations, including BBC Radio 6,[3] RTÉ,[4] KEXP,[5] and WFMU,[6] and received a positive critical reception.

Background and release

The album was recorded in O'Muineachain's hometown of Belmullet, County Mayo, Ireland, from January to March 2020,[7] and was subsequently released during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland. The album had its premier on KDHX on 17 March 2020,[8] and was released three days later, both digitally and as a limited edition blue cassette tape, on March 20.[9] Several music videos were created for the album, including a video for 'Slow Closing Day' by Irish experimental film-maker Maximilian Le Cain.[10]
