Exiles

After a year spent locked in the studio writing new music, EXILES are back and their upcoming release, Rearview Mirror, is a feel-good, hook-laden banger that sees Carlow musician-producer duo Jack O’Flaherty and Darragh O’Connor produce one of the most sophisticated pop songs to come out of Ireland in a very long time. 

EXILES crafted their debut EP Red Lights in Camden Recording Studios under the expert guidance of producer Ross Fortune, who has worked with the likes of Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne, Friendly Fires and Florence + The Machine. 

With such early signs of success, EXILES might have been forgiven for sitting back and riding that synth-pop wave all the way to the bank. But EXILES are not a band that rest on their laurels. 

One thing is clear from what EXILES’ have in store for us - they won’t be shoehorned into a specific genre, with diverse musical influences range from the likes of St. Lucia, Fenech-Soler and Fleetwood Mac to Talking Heads, Bell X1 and Arctic Monkeys. Most recently, EXILES have been working with producer extraordinaire Michael Heffernan, whose impressive roster of clients includes Dermot Kennedy, Chasing Abbey, Gavin James, The Script and The Coronas.
