Eoin Dolan evokes a sense of nostalgic optimism with a vintage pop sound on new EP June Hope. Inspired by early John Lennon solo material, 1960s French pop and vintage calypso compilations, June Hope charts a journey from youth to young adulthood through the prism of seasonal change. Airy, light and thoughtful it is Dolan’s most personal record since debut release Placid Ocean and was recorded at home during the last two months of lockdown.
Eoin on June Hope: “Winters are fairly dark in the west of Ireland – what keeps you going are thoughts of a fresh spring and the warmth of a summer sun… I wanted to make a record that would capture that feeling. If you’re going to believe in anything, keep faith that there’ll always be better days ahead.”
