Trees company.

Mick Flannery – Wasteland

Looking for drama?

The new video from Corkonian singer/songwriter Mick Flannery (top) is frighteningly intense.

Fellow music industry stalwart Steve Wall (looking disturbingly like Breaking Bad‘s Walter White here) stars as a troubled soul in this promo directed in moody monochrome by Sinead McDevitt.

Nick says: Stunning.

The Remedy Club – Sweet Symphony

For those about to country-rock, I salute you.

Recorded in Nashville with Steve Earle associate Ray Kennedy, its roots go deep.

Nick says: Orchestral manoeuvres in the Deep South.

Imploded View – I Don’t Know What To Call This Feeling

Longford electronic producer Jerome McCormick aka Imploded View returns after ‘quite a hiatus due to kids/ life etc.’ in a dramatic forest-based video which premiered on Nialler9.com yesterday.

Jerome writes:

My six year old daughter Mia helped with the video and actually shot a lot of the footage used…

Nick Says: You’re sure of a big surprise.

Reevah – Weight Of The World

It’s bathtime.

Derry girl Reevah (top) channels her inner Ophelia in her new video as she is drawn to the water.

The single is taken from her A Different Light EP, due next month.

Reevah says:

“The track eludes to struggle and the human condition. How we can all carry the Weight of the World but not let it be known to those around us.”

Nick says: Worth the wait.

Ryan McMullan – In A Heartbeat

The snow must go on.

Portaferry, County Down native Ryan McMullan (top) braves the freezing winter for his latest video, which is the second single from his forthcoming Ruthless Cupid EP, due next month.

A slow-building power ballad, this is one for the Ed Sheeran fans among you.

Nick says: Ryan versus Jack Frost.

John Blek – Death & His Daughter

These are Blek times.

But don’t despair. Come gather round and listen to Cork-born troubadour John Blek (top). On the third single from his new album The Embers, he spins a macabre tale with a true storyteller’s craft.

And the bone-shaking video is on point too.

Nick says: Skeleton blues.

A Band Called Paul – In It For Money

Money changes everything.

A Band Called Paul is orchestral percussionist and soundtrack composer Paul McDonnell (top).

Here, the Dublin-based musician brews up a danceable concoction of Latin sounds while riffing on the hard realities of being an artist who needs to put food on the table.

Check out last year’s album Primero.

Nick says: Thrills, bills and bellyaches.

Pinhole – Better Than One

How do you like your avant garde alt.pop?

Pinhole are one of those bands who defy easy categorisation. Strident and intense with a socially aware message, the band’s new single Better Than One concerns the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar in Galway.

Singer Ciara O’Flynn reflects:

“At the time, I was hit again and again by how our publicly elected representatives seemed to have no spines. In frustration, I was lamenting the lack of strong leaders guided by their own moral compasses.”

Pinhole’s debut album Come Curious is out on March 20.

Nick says: One love.
