Dublin’s Cloud Castle Lake for free Róisín gig
Dublin-based band Cloud Castle Lake will play a free show at the Róisín Dubh next Thursday, March 26. The band is a trio, consisting of former school friends Daniel McAuley, Brendan Jenkinson and Rory O'Connor, who make experimental music with an indie/electro vibe.
The three have supported Lisa Hannigan and Radiohead’s producer Nigel Godrich and have also appeared at festivals all around the country, including Electric Picnic and Body & Soul.
They were invited to perform in Toronto at Canadian Music Week, sold out a performance with the Trinity Orchestra in Dublin’s Unitarian Church and played the Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern during London Fashion Week.
Their sound is a mix of pastoral folk and soaring post-rock crescendos – and it’s bringing them to the attention of a small but growing audience.
Cloud Castle Lake’s debut release, Dandelion, was released last September and featured McAuley’s falsetto vocals backed by a range of sounds, from pounding beats to funk-laden guitar. Critics praised their ‘ornate arrangements’ and their ‘density and intensity of harmony’
See what they have to offer when they come to the Dominick Street venue next Thursday. Admission to the gig is free, doors are at 9pm.
