Let’s Set Sail originated in Dublin as a songwriting project between two university students studying classical music composition. Over time, this collaboration evolved into a full-fledged four-piece band, blending acoustic and electronic elements to create richly layered folk-inspired songs. Their music is characterized by honest, relatable lyrics that reflect the essence of Dublin life.

Their EP The Nothingness of Now was released through Homebeat Presents and has garnered praise for its unique sound and careful craftsmanship.

"With a cacophony of textures and skilful arranging, this is an entirely stunning body of work. You're unlikely to find something directly comparable with their unique sound." - Hot Press

"...a delightful mix of ambient folk and upbeat electronic sounds with honest vocals from Warren McCarthy that stick true to his Dublin roots. A nostalgic home bred feel is consistent throughout the EP." - Nialler9

Their lead track "1560 Powell" has received significant acclaim for its atmospheric and slow-building nature:"[A] masterfully slow-burning effort... conjuring the likes of Julia Holter and Low’s Mimi Parker." - The Thin Air

"'1560 Powell' finds Let’s Set Sail creating an atmospheric epic... unfolding into a multi-faceted example of the group’s distinct sound." - The Last Mixed Tape
