Cahill//Costello II - Cahill Costello

2 x 140g Limited Edition Double Vinyl

Release Date: Friday 8th November 2024

The process for writing and creating ‘Cahill//Costello II’ was in many ways no different than Offworld, but very different in others. Most of the initial ideas were all improvised, in the moment and recorded live as we did before.

The most significant difference was thatwe became closer as a duo and as friends. Offworld seemed for us to be a great starting opportunity to figure each other out - musically and personally. The outcome was an album that we are both incredibly proud of.

It transpires that ‘writing process’ never really ended from the Offworld sessions, it all began to merge together, slowly through time into what would eventually become this album. As a result there was no dedicated time to sit down and write or rehearse this album, it was born out of a continued perpetual motion of the band. There was a back and forth of sonic ideas that came from somewhere special, ideas shared which were never forced, they come and go and if they stay, they stay for a reason. It all naturally fell into place, which looking back is special.

It’s a delicate concept to navigate, playing music this way together, as it is music based on shared emotions and intuition. In one way, you want to write and play together as much as possible to celebrate the music and the friendship you have - but you also don’t want to ‘drink the well dry’, yet drink enough and as little as you need in order to maintain longevity for fresh and creative ideas.

‘Cahill//Costello II’ is a representation of our continued development, better understanding of our own creative process, listening to each other and becoming closer as friends and as a duo.

We hope we can continue to make music together in the future. If you purchased this record, we thank you sincerely for supporting our work and we hope you enjoy, take care.
