Outlines by Peter Doran

Praise for Outlines:

"It’s fragile, it’s beautiful, it’s elegant... it’s everything that you’d hope for from an album." - Dan Hegarty 2fm

"With it's overtones of Damien Rice and James Vincent McMorrow, this is an absorbing, uplifting record" - 8/10 Hotpress

A beautiful album from the Irish Singer/Songwriter, where gentle folk melodies and intricate musicianship blend with introspective vocals to an almost magical effect." Mark Kavanagh - The Star

"Doran has nailed a very particular tone and feeling with this record." Lauren Murphy - The Irish Times

"Doran excels himself with ‘Outlines’ as a whole and must be applauded for stripping matters back" 9/10. - Greg Clifford for Unsigned and Independent Magazine.

"The album glistens with musicianship and crackles with gentle, introspective songwriting. Outlines establishes the artist as a very special songwriting talent." 9/10 Stephen White (The Last Mixed Tape Blog)

"This guy I think is bound for glory... if he's not careful"

- John Creedon (Rte Radio 1)

Part Nick Drake, part David Gray (seriously), Tug is another blunt missive from the borders of real and imagined, images of ghosts, poison and ‘..rooms that lie beneath..’, sickly-nothings in between the notes that propel a song intent on self-flagellation – if these are just stories, they’re incredibly well delivered.

- Paul Woodgate for Folk Radio UK

OUTLINES is the fourth album from Irish Singer-Songwriter Peter Doran.

Recorded in a small lake house in the Irish Midlands* from winter 2013 to spring 2014. We borrowed some beautiful microphones and tracked and mixed the entire project on an old Roland VS 2480 studio**.
No click-tracks, auto-tune or other studio wizardry was used in the making of this album.

* With additional recording in Kildare and Dublin.
** Except for Drums & Percussion recorded by Tom Osander in Berlin.
