Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a seven-year hiatus, the incredibly successful Irish artist returns with a deeply atmospheric, highly conceptual record inspired by the islands of Sark. 'Dark Sky Island' utilizes her signature, heavily layered vocal harmonies and sweeping, lush synthesizer orchestration to craft a profoundly peaceful environment. The album is a beautiful, highly melodic, and explicitly nocturnal exploration of celestial themes.
