Theo Bleak is the musical project of Katie Lynch, a Dundee-based Alternative artist known for her “atmospheric and introspective sound.” Since debuting with Fragments, Theo Bleak has drawn inspiration from diverse sources, including Alternative Rock, Emo, and visual storytelling.

Theo Bleak’s work is “a journey—a walk through the countryside of the mind and heart, where every step brings a new revelation.” The single and video for “Peach Sky” are out now. It’s part of a new EP called Bad Luck Is Two Yellow Flowers. The EP arrives on May 15th, 2025.

Of Bad Luck is Two Yellow Flowers, Katie Lynch says:

“Bad Luck Is Two Yellow Flowers is an EP of my imaginings of my friend’s inner life. Each song is a different facet of our blurry friendship. The imagery behind my EP title is concerned with superstition, astrology and the feeling of deep unwavering longing.

I wrote “Peach Sky” from fragmented thoughts and observations I had kept record of, while reflecting on the second time I lived and worked on the Isle of Skye. The morning I left the island to return home, the sky was a beautiful peach colour. I reflected on how impermanent my feelings were.

“Said Like A Poet” is a scathing look at how much I idealise intellect, even though I’m entirely emotionally driven. 

“Katie You’re A Liar” is a song written from the perspective of those who hate me, about me. 

“Look Out The Window” is a song about the unhealthiness of obsessive longing. 

“You Don’t Want Me” is the inevitable outcome.
