DARK ISLE
EP LAUNCH
plus support
Whelan’s Upstairs • Fri 18th April 2025
Dark Isle. Created by three Dublin based musicians. We live in a dark place with glimpses of light.
Songs about Love, Loss & Identity. Always about our lives. Dark Isle is eternal for the times we live in.
The music could be electronic, dance or indie, and you might catch granny whistling along between pills. We have heard our music described variously as Pet Shop Boys meets Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem meets My Bloody Valentine, Beatles meets Kraftwerk. All of those artists are big influences, but we also have our own unique sound, underpinned by great songs and production.
Dark Isle are:
– Diarmuid Ryan
– JP Coakley
– John Donnelly
Dark Isle formed in 2019, born out of a long-term collaboration between three musicians in Dublin and Barcelona. We released our eponymous debut album in 2022.
“ This home-produced collection spans a bridge of genres, always underpinned by great songwriting “
“Superb well-crafted songs with great production, melodies and lyrics. “
