Info for Perfect Place

Lemoncello, the Dublin based duo of singer songwriter Laura Quirke and cellist arranger Claire Kinsella, release their second album, Perfect Place, on May 8 2026 via Claddagh Records.

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 Lemoncello. Imbued with assuredness, the record encompasses full band recordings that weave synths and electronic percussion into the duo’s organic sound.

"In the past I think I’ve abandoned songs a little bit too soon," Quirke said of Perfect Place. "I hid behind flowery language instead of getting to the heart of the thing."

"With this album we wanted to express things that are difficult and messy. Sometimes to be clear emotionally you need to be abstract lyrically but you can’t be afraid to take everything off and just stand there completely vulnerable."

The duo have released the album's opening track 'Articulate Animal' to accompany the announcement. The song was first developed during a five-minute creative writing exercise at a workshop, where Quirke settled on the central lyric: "Wish I could stop telling myself things".

Lemoncello
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 and cellist-arranger Claire Kinsella, Perfect Place is imbued with assuredness, encompassing 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 the modern tension between togetherness and alienation & 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 6 Music, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit.

Described as direct and refreshing, 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.

This album contains no booklet.
