Telefis – Falun Gong Dancer
Station to station.
Contrarian Corkonian Cathal Coughlan teams up with ace producer Jackknife Lee on this third single from their forthcoming album A hAon.
The blurb states:
“In contrast with the first two releases, “Falun Gong Dancer” has a very stark arrangement, featuring a cyclical, meditative melody over dissolving piano chords and synth pulses, heard in episodic passages which take the listener on a tour of the world – from London, to the US-Mexico border, to the cities of Australasia – in the company of a hapless narrator.
“Occasional interludes of electronic harmony hint at either a tentative intimacy, or at an isolation which is final and absolute – it remains ambiguous.”
The visuals by film-maker Matt Mahurin are quite startling.
Nick says: No flipping.
More poetic brilliance from C.Coughlan.
Uncompromising, mesmerising, spellbinding work…!
Always true to his (he)art.
Fabulous video to boot…!
“…love will conquer all.”
(…on peut rever…!)
Great post Nick…!
