Lemoncello

Lemoncello, the Dublin based duo of Laura Quirke and Claire Kinsella,announce their second album, Perfect Place, due for release on May 8 via Claddagh Records. Alongside the announcement, the band share the new single and video for “Articulate Animal,” the album’s opening track, following the earlier release of “Meet Me Halfway.”

Co-produced by Ruth O’Mahony Brady (Lisa O’Neill, Gorillaz) at her studio in Cabinteely, Dublin, Perfect Place evolves from the band’s folk soaked roots of their critically acclaimed 2024 self-titled debut, and confidently explores intricate new shapes, marking a bold new chapter for Quirke and Kinsella. Imbued with assuredness, the record encompasses full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the duo’s staple organic sound.

Written and recorded over a two-year period, the album began with an artist residency in late 2023 in a cabin overlooking the Skellig Islands off the southwest coast of Kerry. From there, Quirke and Kinsella spent a year exchanging voice notes and demos before bringing the material into the studio.
