• Watch: All Tvvins – Thank You

    March 19, 2015 - By 

    Having received its premiere on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 programme last month, Dublin duo All Tvvins have unveiled the rather fabulous video for their triumphant debut single, ‘Thank You’. In January we summed up a live version of the track, released last year as “A charming and bewitching math-pop track released as a live video from the post-Adebisi supergroup. Whip-smart in the composition, and beautifully restrained in the delivery, it is a wonderful dichotomy of heart-warming melodies and existential uncertainty, sealed with searing, aching swell guitar.” The video for the single – a hyper-disco, ballerina-centric mini-masterpiece – was directed by Brendan…

  • Watch: M Sord – Talk It Over With Your Manager

    February 11, 2015 - By 

    Michigan based one man act M.Sord (introduced to these shores by none other than Bobby Ahearne from No Monster Club) has just released a video for his almost-instrumental ‘Talk About It With Your Manager’ from the album Rick McMann. Watch an incredibly boring day for employees at ‘Clownmeat Inc.’ where they create the mystery luncheon delicacy (or Billy Roll to most) and how they hilariously incorporate the recent water charges protest to full effect. The video was recorded and produced in Dublin by Caoimhe Lavelle and Daniel Martin.

  • Premiere: Boss Sound Manifesto – Full Moon Crazy Dog

    December 4, 2014 - By 

    Self-proclaimed “four old punks and a soul boy from Belfast”, Boss Sound Manifesto will launch their debut vinyl and digital EP, In It For The Good Times, at Belfast’s Voodoo on December 20. Ahead of that, we’re pleased to premiere the wonderfully tripped out video to the release’s lead single, ‘Full Moon Crazy Dog’. Created by Belfast-based visual maestros DSNT, the promo – very much in accordance with the music – distils the band’s brilliantly left-of-centre, decidedly no-fucks-given approach. “In it for the good times” indeed. Watch the video below and go the Facebook event page for the EP launch here.

    October 29, 2014 - By 

    Over twenty years on from forming Ash, Tim Wheeler has unveiled the video for his debut single, ‘Vigil’. Taken from his forthcoming debut album, Lost Domain, the track deals with Wheeler coming to terms with the loss of his late father, George, to dementia. “It was a really hard time, it was a beautiful time as well, with the closeness of the family,” said Wheeler. We were glad that we all got to be there and share that time together.” Lost Domain is released on November 10. Wheeler will play the following dates over the next fortnight: November 4:  London, Bush Hall November…

  • Watch: I Heart the Monster Hero – Toni Bailey

    September 16, 2014 - By 

    We have a lot of love for I Heart the Monster Hero here at The Thin Air and we think you will too once you watch this brilliant video for ‘Toni Bailey’ made by GREY SUN in a busy Dublin train station during the Summer. The Monster Hero himself had this to say about the making of the video: “We shot it while playing a set in the concourse of Heuston station as part of the HWCH in the city for the Forbidden Fruit festival this year. It was pretty fun to play in the station, suffice to say the…

  • Exclusive: Meb Jon Sol – Leave All Your Troubles With Me

    September 3, 2014 - By 

    Having reared his head at the start of the year with his debut single, ‘Captain of This Ship’, Belfast-based singer-songwriter Michael McCullagh AKA Meb Jon Sol has released the touching trad-folk of ‘Leave All Your Troubles With Me’ – and we have a first look at the video. Filmed and edited by Colm Laverty, the video, giving the effect of an old 8mm film, features McCullagh performing the track in the Titanic quarter of Belfast, spliced with footage of various people across the world. ‘Leave All Your Troubles With Me’ is available to buy via Bandcamp for £1 or the option to donate…

  • Watch: Mojo Fury – All In Awe

    August 8, 2014 - By 

    Mojo Fury have unveiled the video for ‘All In Awe’, the latest single to be taken from their stellar second album, The Difference Between. A notably more cinematic, narrative-driven visual accompaniment (in comparison to previous videos for the likes of ‘Origami Bird’ and ‘The Difference Between’) the video was directed by Daniel Holmes. The moral, in a nutshell? Don’t text and drive. Mojo Fury’s next show is at Belfast’s Voodoo on Wednesday, September 24. FLAWS, Abandcalledboy provide support on the night. Watch the video for ‘All In Awe’ below.
