The Most Important Thing Is Peace Within Yourself is the sixth full-length from Eoin Dolan, a singer/songwriter based in Galway, Ireland. An affecting blend of folk and harmonious pop radiates across the release, which boasts an abundance of quality songwriting — from the tranquil, nature-set folk lushness of “Circle of Your Song” to the hypnotic, synth-touched mesmerizing of the finale “The Cave.” The album presents an intoxicating array songwriting that balances personal immersion with serene folk and psych-pop songcraft.
Calming organs and introspective vocals — reflecting a steady rainfall — compel on the opening “Don’t Ever Be An Architect of Misery.” A more expansive reassurance enamors on the subsequent “Everything Will Go Away In Time,” where the title-touting refrain engages amidst warming vocal layers; the track is enjoyably reflective of overcoming personal tumult, centering around the album’s focus as a whole. “The album is a celebration of resilience and an appreciation of the light and shade we all experience as we go through life,” Dolan explains.
