The Smoke Clears is the abstract ambient project of producer John Daly (One Track/Izu/Running Back, Feel.....). He debuted this alias with an eponymous LP in 2013 on Further Records and we're proud to present a part 2.

Following up his 2013 LP of the same name, this record builds upon it's predecessor's ambient abstractions while adding another layer of nuanced melodic contemplation.

Kicking off with "Fathoms" a deceptively calm track but with a paced sense of urgency which is evident throughout the LP, belying it's calm undertones. Continuing at this pace for the rest of the first side the LP takes a side turn with the lush "Slipstream" melting into the only vocal track of the LP - the dubbed out bliss of "Oh My Days" featuring Cian Finn. Showcasing a side that might not be familiar to those who come to the table with knowledge of the Galway producers house and techno releases on his own imprint One Track Records, Running Back and more, this is lush downtempo machine music equally as at home cranked up one louder soundsystem style, or for late night home listening.

�Like being in a forest that lives between a time in the 1980s and the 2080s - vivid and vivacious and dark yet spacious. Great stuff.�

�Oh, I've been waiting for this since 2013! I love the first album but this might as well top it! The tracks are so lush and seem to go in different directions although John's style remains unmistakable... a superb release!�
