Synths and electronic percussion woven into organic sounds…

It’s hard not to feel seen by Lemoncello, a band whose live performances and recordings shimmer with the tones of modern Ireland. Their upcoming release, Perfect Place, evolves from the band’s folk-soaked roots and confidently explores intricate new shapes. Marking a bold new chapter for singer-songwriter Laura Quirke & cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella, “Perfect Place” is imbued with assuredness, featuring full-band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the band’s staple organic sound.

Through an intimate and devastatingly personal style of storytelling, the new album reflects upon the modern tension between togetherness and alienation and the chaos of human nature with radical acceptance and compassion. Perfect Place follows on from the band’s debut self-titled record, which received critical acclaim from BBC Radio 6 Music, Clash, and The Line Of Best Fit. Described as “direct and refreshing”, and “cathartic” by critics at Mojo and RNR, the duo speak to listeners in the way that an ex or an old friend might – cultivating a sense of consolation that leaves audiences forgetting there’s a world outside of the venue. Lemoncello’s body of work is equally familiar and confronting, driven by the palpable chemistry of a long-term friendship.

Fionnuala Mary Bradbury is a singer and songwriter from Manchester. Her sound comes from the local Irish traditional folk scene she grew up in, and the jazz music she found a love for later on.
Her recordings of traditional folk songs, made with the help of Michael McGoldrick, have been played on BBC Radio Ulster and BBC Radio 2’s Folk Show.
