Jape – Seance of Light

Ever been spiked before going to work?

A new video from much-loved Dublin electronic outfit involving a prank that goes horribly interesting.

Niippons – Spice Bag

A munchie fuelled throbbing jam (plus refreshments).

Gabriel Rodriguez writes:

In their first cosmic exploration since 2013’s debut album Shit Demons, Dublin space rock supergroup, Nippons, have released a new track and video called Spice Bag.
Written and recorded in under 24 hours between the 30-31 December[ 2014], Spice Bag explores themes of fast food, the point of human origin, and trans-dimensional omnipresence…

Anderson – Patterns

Dublin singer songwriter’s debut album.

Jenny Reilly writes:

Broadsheet has featured videos for the musician Anderson before, memorably for the song History. His album is coming out this year and this video trailer gives a taste of what to expect…I’m from the same place he’s from in Finglas and keen to spread the word about an exciting new Irish album for 2015.

Women’s Christmas – Thumbs Up to The World.

A new video from Dublin band Women’s Christmas  – named after the ‘little Xmas’ January 6 tradition –  for the day that’s in it.

Taken from their 2014 album ‘Too Rich For Our Blood’.

Women’s Christmas (Bandcamp)

For the night that’s in it.

Regal Kildare-based, Sierra Leonean soul singer Loah and ZZ Top-chinned troubadour Philip McKinley with a rendition of Unto Us Is Born A Son (based on a 1582 German Medieval carol medley).

Filmed by Sam Fitzpatrick (who compiled our much-loved pets at Xmas/Bach mashup recently) and Reuben ‘Pesky’ Teskey in St George and St Thomas’s Church, Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin.

The Minutes – Supernatural

Niall McGuckian writes:

[Dublin band] The Minutes [Mark Austin, Tom Cosgrave, Shane Kinsella] are closing out 2014, what may well be their best year as a band, thanks to extensive touring in Europe, a rising profile and a solid second record Live Well, Change Often.
To mark the occasion, the band have released a new single, ‘Supernatural’, which comes with the news that the album is getting a European-wide release on February 7th on Model Citizen [record label]. Back home, the guys play New Year’s Eve in the Workman’s Club, Wellington Quay, Dublin  (€18) to celebrate all the above. The video by Mark Bailey features Mark Austin play the role of the evangelical TV preacher.
