It was a terrifying feeling sometimes, but it was also really rewarding.” says Eoin French, the Irish artist better known as [Talos](https://www.instagram.com/thisistalos/?hl=en). With his sophomore album _Far Out Dust,_ out February 8 on BMG, the musician expands on the isolating portrait created in his debut _Wild Alee_. This time around French as chosen to explore a more robust sound that shines of more confidence and might. The first track “The Light Upon Us” is a crucial signifier of the artists’s evolution, merging his signature electronics with tranquil minimalism . A majority of this confidence can be attributed to his travels during the recording process which saw him traverse sessions in New York, Los Angeles, London, Dublin, Cork, and Reykjavik. This movement paired with the critical and commercial success of his debut gave him the assertiveness to bloom.
