Trick Mist – Another’s Tale

‘Irish Electronic Songwriter’ Gavin Murray aka Trick Mist writes:

I make Trad/Electronic songs in Manchester. This is video No.4 from the ‘Gap Series’. These are videos made for my EP ‘Jars in Rows’ but without my involvement in the process. Basically I’ve invited film makers to give their own visual interpretation of each song, entirely free from my input.

This video for sean-nós inspired ‘Another’s Tale’ was created by animator Freddie Leyden. The video, all 14GBs of it, is an incredibly detailed affair and is equally frantic, trippy and unnerving. I never thought I’d mention sean-nós and gigabytes in the same breath but there ya go!. ‘Jars in Rows’ EP is out now [link below].

Sing Street

What you may need to know:

1. John Carney’s new flick. A young fella starts up a band to impress a young wan.

2. Can we forget about Once (2007), now?

3. Contrary to popular opinion, it wasn’t all bad back in the eighties. Jazz mags, Toni the exotic dancer, and cheap Doc Martens ’round the back of the Ilac. Good times.

4. Say hello to ADIFF, wave goodbye to JDIFF. Sing Street is the opening film at the newly-named Dublin Film Festival.

5. Still waiting for the Bachelors Walk box set.

6. Broadsheet prognosis: Less About A Boy, more Good Vibrations.

Release Date: March 18.
