D.A.R.K. is an unlikely collaboration between Dolores O'Riordan, Andy Rourke and Olé Koretsky. Dolores, known famously as the singer of The Cranberries, has sold over 40 million albums and also worked with the likes of Angelo Badalamenti and Jah Wobble. Andy Rourke is best known as the inimitable bass player in one of the most important British bands ever, The Smiths - he has also worked with Pretenders, Ian Brown, Sinead O'Connor and Badly Drawn Boy. The third and final member is Ole Koretsky, a little known songwriter, producer and DJ based in New York. The band's roots lie in a New York DJ-mixing collaboration formed between Andy and Ole, after they met gigging in Washington DC. After a couple of years' experimentation and laying down tracks in their home studios, a chance meeting between Andy and Dolores resulted in the singer asking him what he was working on. They began sharing tracks and ideas via email and dropbox, building on Andy and Olé's original demos and, in a couple of instances, Dolores completely re-imagining some of the songs. 'Science Agrees' is a lyrically subtle album that touches on themes of isolation and disconnection, trauma and rebirth ('Curvy'), drug addiction and love ('High Fashion', 'Underwater'), control ('Loosen The Noose'), death ('Steal You Away'), loss of faith and dissatisfaction ('Gunfight').
