Clannad 2 is a masterclass in the power of the human voice and the resonance of wooden instruments. Released in 1974, it captures the Brennan family and their uncles at a pivotal moment: they have moved beyond the standard pub-folk repertoire of their peers and begun to craft a sound that is uniquely theirs. The album feels like a private conversation held in a stone room, where the only light comes from a hearth. There are no synthesizers or pop concessions here, just the shimmering pluck of Máire's harp and the breathtaking, intuitive harmonies that only siblings can achieve.
