D.A.R.K. Featuring Dolores O'Riordan
D.A.R.K. is an unlikely collaboration between Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries), Andy Rourke (The Smiths) and Olé Koretsky. To launch their first album, the band will undertake a European tour in September, playing on 27th September at Caracol in Madrid as a unique show in Spain.

D.A.R.K. is the result of a surprising teamwork by Dolores, known famously as the singer of The Cranberries, which has sold over 40 million albums and also worked with the likes of Angelo Badalamenti and Jah Wobble, Andy Rourke, best known as the inimitable bass player in one of the most important British bands ever, The Smiths - he has also worked with Pretenders, Ian Brown, Sinead O’Connor and Badly Drawn Boy and by the third and final member, Olé Koretsky, a little known songwriter, producer and DJ based in New York.
The band’s roots lie in a New York DJ-mixing collaboration formed between Andy and Olé, after they met gigging in Washington DC. After a couple of years’ experimentation and laying down tracks in their home studios, a chance meeting between Andy and Dolores resulted in the singer asking him what he was working on. They began sharing tracks and ideas via email and dropbox, building on Andy and Olé’s original demos and, in a couple of instances, Dolores completely re-imagining some of the songs.
The resulting album, Science Agrees, captures the essence of three distinctive personalities, incorporating their love of electronica and new wave. An array of influences can be heard throughout the album, in particular artists including Angelo Badalamenti (‘The Moon’), The Cure, Depeche Mode, David Bowie – Andy and Olé connected over their love of ‘Low’ – Magazine (‘High Fashion’), New Order (‘Curvy’), Pet Shop Boys and REM, with production and sonic experimentation inspired by Brian Eno, post-punk, post-disco, RZA and modern hip hop.
Science Agrees, the debut album by D.A.R.K., will be released at the end of August. The first single to be released from the album will be ‘Curvy’, available now as an instant grat.
