These Quiet Hours

Lifelines is the debut album by These Quiet Hours, an independent Irish ambient guitar project. The album marks a return to music after many years spent in other creative pursuits. Emerging from late-night sessions after a long period of silence, new music began to take shape throughout 2025.

Across eight instrumental tracks, Lifelines drifts between ambient guitar, post-rock and shoegaze influences, sometimes building from noise, sometimes from near-silence. Tracks like “Seven Waves Deep” and “Tomorrow’s Problems” lead with melodic intensity and post-rock hooks, while “A Circular Moment” and “Before the World Wakes Up (A Reprieve)” offer more atmospheric, immersive counterparts.
