Indie artist, Liam Doyle, releases stunning debut EP

Music Review | 24th April, 2025 Liam Doyle Liam Doyle

Following on the heels of the single, Berlin, alternative artist Liam Doyle, creates dreamlike soundscapes filled with piano, sweeping strings and moody guitars across his debut EP, Passed.

Recorded mostly in a spare bedroom in Kilkenny, this five-track EP explores death, nostalgia, regret, and that fun little mix of longing and acceptance we all pretend we have under control. The title, Passed, plays on passed away and the past, because nothing says indie credibility like a double meaning.

The EP shows Doyles ability as a creative artist, creating melodic soundscapes on the dreamlike piano led, Glory and Berlin, to the more up-tempo, Smoke On Rivers, packed with strings.

Dear Teenage Companion takes a sonic-twist as Doyle performs a cappella, supported with blended harmonies which leads to the closing track, Death Of An Islander, with a haunting intro and delicate vocal delivery.
