Lemoncello

The Dublin-based duo Lemoncello, Laura Quirke and Claire Kinsella, open up their homes and pick ten objects — a borrowed fiddle, a hand-painted notebook from Mexico, a wood-carved swan, a Simpsons fridge sticker — that tell small stories of places returned to, gifts received, and the things that sustain a creative life between records.

Lemoncello announce their second album “Perfect Place,” out May 8th via Claddagh Records, and share the video for new single “Articulate Animal.” Co-produced by Ruth O’Mahony Brady, the album evolves from the duo’s folk-soaked debut into bolder sonic territory, weaving synths and electronic percussion into their organic sound. UK tour dates in May include shows supporting Joshua Burnside, plus Deer Shed and WOMAD.

Lemoncello reveal their new single “Meet Me Halfway”, their first new music since last year’s self-titled debut. Written in a clifftop cabin overlooking the Skellig Islands and later recorded with co-producer Ruth O’Mahony-Brady, the six-minute track explores modern disconnection through sparse guitar, voice, and distant strings—a quietly persuasive meditation on vulnerability and connection.

The nominations for the 7th RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards have been announced, including Róis, Lemoncello, Joshua Burnside, Lankum, Christy Moore, Ríoghnach Connolly, Landless, John Spillane, Niamh Bury and more.

Watch Lemoncello’s video diary on the making of their self-titled debut on 2-inch tape with Julie McLarnon at Analogue Catalogue Studios in Newry, Northern Ireland.

Lemoncello is one of those records that has a binding sound all the way whilst boasting an incredible range of tones, moods, and textures within each individual song…an ethereal, harmonious, ever-shifting sheen of a topcoat gliding across a tense, grinding underbelly of distortion and vibration.

Newly signed to Claddagh Records, Lemoncello announce their eponymous debut album and share their new single and video, ‘Old Friend’. Don’t miss their extensive Ireland and UK Tour starting in May.
