All four band members (Faye O'Rourke, guitarist Adam O'Regan, drummer
Dylan Lynch, and bassist Donagh Seaver-O'Leary) are seasoned musicians,
despite their youth. With their previous band - the internationally renowned
Little Green Cars, whose seminal debut album skyrocketed to number one in
the Irish album charts. Following two successful introductory EPs (2019's “Terrible Hands” and 2020's “Isolation Content”), they released their debut album, “Small Talk”, in 2021. The LP was subsequently nominated for RTÉ’s Choice Music Prize for Album of the Year and received rave reviews from Paste Magazine, Atwood Magazine, and The Irish Times, who called it "a record so articulate and expressive that its title has to be a wry in-joke."
“Dream Big”, the second studio album from Irish band Soda Blonde, is far more than a collection of catchy and cathartic pop songs; it’s a mantra - a mission statement from four lifelong friends. It’s their promise to themselves, and a message to all who come along for the ride: A reminder that life is precious, fragile, and fleeting, so we might as well dream big and hold nothing back. Epic in size and intimate in scope, “Dream Big” holds a microscope in one hand and a mirror in the other as our innermost thoughts and feelings get a soundtrack of their very own. “I feel like my job is to be as human as possible and to expose all of my innermost thoughts without fear of judgment,” Soda Blonde’s enigmatic frontwoman Faye O’Rourke says. “Not to tell people what’s right or wrong, but just to be vulnerable and allow them to figure that out for themselves.”
O’Rourke’s achingly emotive, deeply existential songwriting explores the brutality and the fragility of life as she comes to terms with who she is as a person, and where she is at this point in her life. “To dream big is to just have a basic roof over your head,” O’Rourke says. “It’s a reflection on where we all find ourselves and what people our age are going through. We’re trying to find a home - literally and spiritually. The lethargy, rage and confusion of it all can be exhausting. But we’re inching forward and dreaming of something bigger.” “Dream Big” is as much a product of self-reflective reckoning as it is one of submission, and both of these experiences are borne out in its songs.
Ultimately, “Dream Big” is for everyone. “In a world where everything is so disposable, we hope people feel like they own a piece of this album,” O’Rourke shares. “We hope they feel a sense of empowerment, realizing that the journey is a common thing, and we’re all on the same path.”
We hope our Bedroom Set can add an even deeper insight into the band’s relationship with one another and their music, with the performance situated in a space they are all familiar with - lead guitarist and backing vocalist Adam O’Regan’s Dublin apartment.
