Dublin's Isidore delivers a compelling meditation on desire and distance with 'No Time, All The Time', a single that finds the solo artist refining his distinctive approach to melancholic indie-pop.
The track builds around a central tension—bright, jangly instrumentation that practically sparkles against vocals heavy with longing and frustration. Glockenspiel accents dance over driving rhythms while Isidore’s delivery channels a restless energy that feels both urgent and defeated. It's this push-and-pull dynamic that gives the song its emotional weight, creating space between what's felt and what's attainable.
"I saw the sunlight through the window" opens the track, immediately establishing the theme of proximity without connection that runs throughout. Fagan's frantic vocal approach mirrors the desperation of trying to grasp something that's always just out of reach—whether that's time, love, or simply a moment of clarity.
Behind Isidore is 23-year-old Clondalkin artist Conor Fagan, who has been building momentum through Dublin's indie scene, with early radio support and notable live appearances including Ireland Music Week and slots at Whelan's. His sound draws from a wide palette—The Strokes' rhythmic precision, The National's atmospheric weight, Dylan's lyrical directness—but emerges as something distinctly his own.
'No Time, All The Time' suggests Isidore is finding his voice in the space between indie-rock's energy and folk's intimacy, crafting songs that feel both immediate and contemplative. Stream the single below.
