Released last week as a double A-Side single with another track, 'In My Darkest Moments', Irish electro musician Daithí has released the promo for 'Take the Wheel'.
The live video was filmed and directed by Joseph Ingersoll. It shows Daithí, long time collaborator Sinead White and Bell X1 singer Paul Noonan lay down the track in the recording studio. It can be seen below.
As for the song itself, Noonan croons and plays piano over a soft but huge electronic soundscape from Daithí and White.

The Double A-side release is only the first in a series. The tracks are inspired by Daithí's time in rural France reeling from the loss of a relationship.
Speaking about his recent release, Daithí says, “I became interested in the idea of how people deal with loss, and the different ways that they recover from it,” he notes. “I was at my lowest point, feeling like nothing would ever be okay again, and found myself writing all sorts of melodies and chords as a form of therapy, but couldn’t imagine getting to a place where I felt comfortable making songs out of them.”
“This project scared me, but I'm also more proud of it than anything I've ever done. The pain of loss never really goes away, you just learn to deal with it,” Daithí said. “As you grow older, it's in this process that you learn the most about yourself. It is the kind of life lesson that only arrives when you are ready. When you are willing to hear it out.”
