I picked up a copy of Brian McGrane's new atmospheric piano album, "Engrane," on the Celtic Tenors tour recently.

The CD is subtitled Sketches and the tracks are demo versions. They won't be the same versions as the forthcoming public release of the album.

It's nice and relaxing.

My favourites are:
- 21/15 (which he performed with The Celtic Tenors on tour)
- Ecaps, Space, and the bonus track, which are basically all the same (or very similar) tunes 🤣
... maybe the same tune was accidentally copied a few times. It will be interesting to see what the tunes of the same name sound like when the album is officially released.

During Brian's StageIt today as "Engrane," he announced that in addition to some singles, he's working on an album with Laura Keegan (Durrant), which is tentatively planned for release in the summer of 2025.

The StageIt itself was a nice listen. It was mostly instrumental and Brian's created a really fresh relaxing sound. I suppose the closest style to it is atmospheric spa music.

My sprawling collection of music stemming from my appreciation of Celtic Woman is extensive, but this is not like anything else in it.

Brian has his own Patreon page now (in addition to The Brave Collide page):
