Tara Nome Doyle »Agape« release concert

Tara Nome Doyle is a 26-year old singer-songwriter with Norwegian-Irish roots based in Berlin. TND’s middle name, Nome, is pronounced »Noo-Meh« in Norwegian and »No-me« in English.

Her first single »Down with You« was released in 2018 and has since been streamed over 6 million times. In 2020, TND put out her conceptual debut album »Alchemy«, co-produced by TND and David Specht (Isolation Berlin), which was celebrated by the German press (»… like Kate Bush singing songs by Nick Cave at Berghain«, SPIEGEL). Her sophomore record »Værmin« (2022, BMG Recordings), produced by Grammy-award winning musician and engineer Simon Goff, garnered international praise from outlets like FAZ (»..Germany has a new star«), Wonderland Magazine, CLASH, SPIEGEL, Vogue Japan, NRK, Irish Times and Hot Press. 

Tara Nome Doyle’s latest, self-produced EP »Agape« marks her return to the music scene after a two-year hiatus. 

»Agape« is a profoundly intimate collection of songs documenting TND’s emotional journey through grief, commemorating the passing of a loved one. Each track explores different facets of this emotional landscape, showcasing TND’s otherworldly performances and unique approach to songwriting.

Set in the brutalist communal space at LOBE Block, TND will debut her new EP live on April 18th.

Tara Nome Doyle’s latest EP »Agape« marks her return to the music scene after a two-year hiatus following the success of her acclaimed sophomore album »Værmin« (Modern Recordings, BMG, 2022).

»Agape« is a profoundly intimate collection of songs documenting TND’s emotional journey through grief, commemorating the passing of a loved one. Each track explores different facets of this emotional landscape, showcasing TND’s otherworldly performances and unique approach to songwriting.

This self-produced EP represents an artistic leap for the Norwegian-Irish songwriter. Skill-fully capturing the arresting beauty of her compositions, TNDs minimalistic arrangements feature the haunting melodies of Norwegian-Scottish cellist Sunniva Shaw of Tordarroch (known for her work with Fay Wildhagen, Liv Jakobsen and Juni Habel). The ethereal atmosphere they create together evokes a distinctly Scandinavian eeriness while TND’s dedication to crafting poetic lyrics and vivid storytelling pays tribute to her Irish singer-songwriter roots.

The EP’s title »Agape« translates to unconditional, selfless love – a sentiment that permeates each of the six tracks. This timeless collection of songs aims to be a comforting and cathartic companion for anyone caught in the throes of grief.
