Sorcha Richardson – Honey

Sorcha is in a field of her own for the new video from her Choice Prize-nominated debut album First Prize Bravery.

Sorcha says:

“The video for Honey was shot and directed by my friend Ross Andrew Stewart. We made it, kind of on a whim, on one of Ross’s last days in Dublin before he was going back to New York, some time before the current crisis kicked off, when you could still buy a piano on adverts for €50 and drag it through a field with your friends.

That piano now lives at my rehearsal space, and is far more out of tune than when we picked it up that morning, with a couple souvenir blades of grass still stuck in the wheels.”

Sorcha plays an empty Whelan’s next Tuesday as part of the Other Voices ‘Courage’ series of online gigs streaming via Facebook, YouTube and RTE.ie.

Nick says: The grass is singing.

Here’s a video of Joe playing a song from the album live in the woods of Aquataine in France.

Nick says: A new Jupiter symphony.

James Cramer – Simple Man.

Any skateboarders in?

James has also collaborated with Hermitage Green, Eleanor McEvoy and Luan Parle.

Nick says: Skaters assemble.

Aoife Wolf – I And The Ocean

Anyone for some face-painting?

Offaly singer/songwriter Aoife Wolf gets all smudged up in this unforgettable new video directed by Myles O’Reilly.

Aoife says:

“I And The Ocean is a song about overcoming fear. The idea that you are larger and wilder than whatever it is that’s holding you back. Indulging in pleasure but not wholly.”

Nick says: Creature comforts.

Swedish Railway Orchestra – The House Of Blood

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues.

Workman’s Club resident DJ Rob Smith returns with a trippy and slightly eerie blast of electronica while video director Bobby Turbulence takes us down a surreal path in the promo.

Look out for Swedish Railway Orchestra’s eponymous album on July 29.

Let’s hope it won’t be too long before Rob takes his rightful place behind the decks again on Wellington Quay.

Nick says: Stockholm is where the art is.

Zali – That Girl

All the single ladies…

Introducing homegrown new pop/soul singer Zali, who puts her own stamp on the old-school r’n’b genre.

Unabashedly slinky and sensual, the video by Ovie Etseyatse puts Zali front and centre.

Zali says:

“That Girl is a bold reminder to girls everywhere to unapologetically own the unique and multifaceted nature of who they are, because, even when we don’t see it ourselves, there are people out there looking up to us and being inspired by us each and every day.”

Nick says: Girl power.

Kevin Goslin – Lockdown

“We are always encompassed by love.”

That’s the candle in the dark offered by [Capuchin Franciscan] Brother Richard’s spoken word poem ‘Lockdown’ which multi-instrumentalist Kevin Goslin uses over his post-Covid soundtrack.

The impressive video footage was assembled by Ian Bannon.

Nick says: Kevin knows.
