Peter Doran is an ancient soul from Ireland, who for over two decades, has plaited words and melodies with an encyclopedic knowledge of the psychogeography of his surrounds. "All the world is running on a Mystic Code" (Releases May 2025), the pinnacle of Peter’s six albums is unveiled to the public with lead single Never Say Goodbye, accompanied by a fine maritime themed Josh Wagner directed video. The song is a spellcasting liturgical hymn doused in sea shanty alchemy, peppered with the superstitions of timeworn mariners. Knotted around verses of sailor lore & superstitions are feverish hallucinations of “four lions on a leash, too strong to hold, too wild to keep,” and heady dreams of “waves crashing over the beast.”
Welcome to the captivating world of Peter Doran.
All the world is running on a Mystic Code was recorded in entirety at Peter’s home studio in Oldtown House, the musicians decamping there for extended creative sojourns. Liberated from the usual pressure of time constraints associated when booking a studio, the Oldtown sessions possessed a freedom and indeed, a playful and experimental nature.
